A lot of my job is copying and pasting big batches of PDF files from one file window and sorting them into folders in another window. Before I upgraded to 11 when I would paste a batch it would keep all the things I just moved highlighted so I could easily grab them all again and move them somewhere else. Now with 11 when I go to grab that batch it only selects the one file I clicked and dragged on directly while it automatically deselects all the other ones.

Please tell me there is a secret answer to this because it has slowed down my work flow significantly and I cannot use Linux or stay on 10 as we are required to move to 11 in order for data safety compliance blah blah blah

Please tell me I am just blind or searching the wrong things up looking for my solution.

You can copy paste files. Just cntrl+c your selection, cntrl+v into the new window.

Maybe I worded my post poorly. It's not the copying of files that's the issue. It's that when you paste the files it looks like they are still all highlighted/selected but when I go to grab and drag any of them (expecting it to pull all of the highlighted/selected ones) it only moves the one file my mouse is on. That same exact task in windows 10 it would grab all the highlighted/selected files and move them together to wherever I wanted.
