If I select say 30 files and do CTRL-Delete, Mp3tag does a straight Delete i.e. deletes from the list.  
Rather than do the expected disc delete that shows the 'Confirm Multiple File Delete' dialog.

On say 3 files, it works fine.

Anyone else get this?

EDIT: Actually is sometimes fails in even one file - try starting at the top of the list, selecting one file and hitting CTRL-Del, then repeat. Here, about 1 in 10 fails, apparently at random.

I can't reproduce it here, but I did a slight change for the next release which might fix the issue.

This should be fixed with the latest [Development Build](http://developer.mp3tag.de) Mp3tag v2.41a.

Kind regards,

Not confirmed. The problem is still present on e.g. 100 files.

And furtehrmore undoing the unwanted Remove sometimes fails - Mp3tag says 'unable to remove files'.
