I’ve always been able to move tasks from one section to another by holding command and clicking each task which would effectively select a large batch so I could move them all at once (on a macbook). Now I can’t. Clicking command actually unhighlights the task. Now I have to move each task one by one which severely affects productivity. This appears to be a bug because when I search “how do I select multiple tasks”, that’s the shortcut.

@Suzanne_Rallis I am not experiencing this (MacOS 15.7.3) in either the app or the browser version. I am, however, having other issues dating back to the latest app update pushed to me on Thursday. If you haven’t already, it might be a good idea to submit a support ticket to have someone look at your issue.

The bug appears to be fixed, I’m able to select multiple tasks again, thank you!
