I didn't notice what you described. Which version of gambas do you use?

I tested by adding a "Select" event handler in the Explorer example, with this 
code:

--8<-----------------------------------------------------------------
PUBLIC SUB ivwExplorer_Select()

  ' Prints all selected item each time the selection change
  ivwExplorer.MoveFirst
  WHILE ivwExplorer.Available
    IF ivwExplorer.Item.Selected THEN PRINT ivwExplorer.Item.Text;;
    ivwExplorer.MoveNext
  WEND
  PRINT

END
--8<-----------------------------------------------------------------
