2 years ago We need to research this more. It may not be that the parent is selected, it may be about the cascade of selectors. Perhaps new CSS features could help address this?

2 years ago I would really like to look a bit more into this and potentially prioritize.
Summary
Selecting a nested item in Structure Manager should not automatically select its parent as well.
Impact
Users cannot select multiple nested items without getting unintended selections, which means that they often have to move items one by one and slowing the pace of their work.
Priority recommendation
Sudden Priority Justification
No sudden priority
Expected behaviour
Users should be able to select only the intended nested items using the shift-click method but auto selection of parent prevents that.
Actual behaviour
Because the parent item is selected when nested items are selected the user gets unintended selections.
