Squad member select/deselect bug v0.30.5

When several members or the whole squad is selected, shift-selecting one of them either with the mouse or keyboard will deselect the member from the group, clicking that member's image or corresponding number key will add it again.

This is a rather trivial matter, but I thought I should mention it. It's mostly a problem when managing inventories during long distance travel as you could potentially leave someone behind.

That actually sounds like a feature. Commonly a CTRL-select or SHIFT-select in most windows interfaces and software will add/remove either individual elements or entire groups of selected ones.

Up to Chris' intended design of course, but the way it sounds like it is working isn't far off the mark.

Yeah, I realised after thinking about it that it may be supposed to be that way.
It just felt a little unusual to the way it had been, and I was a bit too tired at the moment of discovery to think that it might be for eventual group selections or something...
So I guess this topic can be disregarded and deleted,
sorry for not thinking it through properly, it's nice to see things change.
