I'm talking about with <SHIFT> and might be selecting hundreds groups.

I even installed a brand-new mouse but still have same problem.

Seems might be related to fact that sometimes it takes several minutes to 
load a group, so if I select one, it starts loading it, but then maybe I 
can't select others until finished loading.  Sometimes I just select one 
to read and come back much later.  It'd be good if pan can just load 
what's in the headers windows and not necessarily the entire group until 
you start scrolling, if one even does (not always/often).
