Description

Using mulitselect with shift on the grid in IE gives also select other random dom elements, which gives a buggy feeling.

Tested on http://ui-grid.info/docs/#/tutorial/210_selection and ui-grid 3.0-RC21 in our project.

Tested with IE11, version number 11.0.9600.17728, update 11.0.18.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open http://ui-grid.info/docs/#/tutorial/210_selection in IE11.
  2. Select one element in the list by clicking the left checkbox
  3. Press shift, and click on an other element in the list

This happened when I used shift to select multiple elements; image

I'am trying to apply the following workarround, and it seems to work. Hopefully it won't break anything else

<div ui-grid="gridOptions" ui-grid-selection ui-grid-resize-columns ng-mousedown="$event.shiftKey && $event.preventDefault()">
});

Research direction
The issue involves IE11's handling of shift key during multiselect in UI Grid. A workaround using ng mousedown with preventDefault is suggested. Investigate the root cause in the selection event handling code, possibly in the ui grid selection directive. Check for event propagation issues. Look at the UI Grid source code to ensure the fix doesn't break other browsers.
