This is tricky.  I have noticed myself that you have to be very 
careful doing Ctrl-click for multiple selection.  I'll take 
another look at it, but this may be the price we pay for a 
relatively unusual feature that I find useful, namely the ability 
to define a (contiguous) multiple selection simply by dragging or 
"swiping" the mouse across the variables.  The problem is that 
movement of the mouse is taken as the start of a drag selection.  
There may be a way to fine-tune this.

Now fixed.

Fixed.

Allin.
