Description:
Cannot drag multiple selections from Navigator to ERD Area in Modeling Screen.  When dragging single item Navigator resets to first item in list.

How to repeat:
Add tables to ERD, start a new EER Diagram, Shift Select Multiple tables in Navigator, drag to EER.

Suggested fix:
Allow multiple selections to be dragged from navigator to EER Diagram, keep Navigator from redrawing/sorting upon selection to EER Diagram.

Verified on Ubuntu. Windows version does all these correct.

this is not a bug in WB but rather in the gtk widget WB uses for that purpose on linux.

for multiple items to be placed on the canvas, mark the first one, shift/ctrl-click the other ones, keep the modifier-key (shift or ctrl) pressed until you started dragging the items from the tree and release the modifier key before you drop the items on the canvas.
