PVE 8.4.1: Multi-select (Ctrl+Click/Shift+Click) not working in File Restore dialog

Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding the functionality of the File Restore dialog for PBS backups, accessed from the PVE web UI.

I am unable to select multiple files or folders. Using Ctrl+Click to select individual items or Shift+Click to select a range has no effect; only the last item I click remains selected.

My understanding is that this multi-select functionality should be available in my PVE version. Could you please confirm if this is correct?

Here is my environment and the troubleshooting steps I've already taken:

  • PVE Version: 8.4.1 (all packages up-to-date)
  • Client OS: Windows 11
  • Browser: Google Chrome (latest version)
Troubleshooting performed:

  1. The issue persists in Chrome's Incognito mode, which should rule out any browser extensions.
  2. Multi-select using Ctrl+Click and Shift+Click works correctly in the same browser on other web applications (like Gmail or Google Drive). This seems to confirm that my OS and browser are sending the keyboard events correctly.
  3. I am accessing the PVE UI on my local machine, not through any Remote Desktop (RDP, VNC, etc.) software.
Given these tests, it seems like a specific restriction in the PVE frontend component. Is this a known issue, or am I missing something?

Thank you for your time and any suggestions!
