Test Case Description for disjoint-select-table

Purpose

Determine whether discontiguous selection of table cells function properly.

Initial Conditions

None.

Steps/Description

View the enclosed test case.
Mac OS:

  1. Drag-select from (1,1) to (2,2)
  2. Hold down the command key, and click on the 7 (at 4,4)
  3. Hold down the command key, and click on the 4 (at 2,2)

Windows:

  1. Drag-select from (1,1) to (2,2)
  2. Hold down the Control key, and click on the 7 (at 4,4)
  3. Hold down the Control key, and click on the 4 (at 2,2)

Expected Results

Step 1:
The upper-left hand four cells should be selected.

Step 2:
The cell containing the number 7 should be selected, in addition to the four cells selected in step a. (A total of five cells should be selected.)

Step 3:
On Mac OS, the cell containing the number 4 should be deselected; the other four cells should remain selected. (A total of four cells should be selected.)

On Windows, the Interface Guidelines lack a useful specification for this action; any user-friendly outcome is acceptable.
