Both shift-click (left, no idea where you got shift-right-click) and ctrl-
left-click work fine to select multiple groups in the group list here, 
shift for range-select and ctrl for non-contiguous-select, as appropriate.

That's with live-git pan built with gtk2, on gentoo linux, with that 
behavior being consistent as long as I remember, even back in the pan 
0.14 and earlier era, before the C++ rewrite.  But for all I know the gtk3 
behavior could be different, or for that matter, gtk2 /or/ gtk3, on ms.

And FWIW, the keyboard parallel using shift-arrow and ctrl-arrow (to 
move, plus space to actually select) works as well.

Right-click has a different purpose, opening the context menu.  (If you 
want to open it after selecting multiple groups, select the multiple 
groups using left-click or arrow/space, then right-click to get the 
context menu.)
