 Common practice in file managers is that  and mouse click will
select everything from "first" (or last depending on sort order) that HAD
BEEN selected up to the item just clicked upon.  "adds" the clicked
item to an ad-hoc selection.

 This likely meant you had a file, somewhere else in the window, that
had been "selected" (highlighted) when you  on the new
file.

 If you first single-click the one file, then hold  and
double-click, it should only process that single file.
