Source list-selection presentation

Pinned TortoiseGit: 7338078f8ddd924b8cddee35f512f2286072136d. This batch ports the connected configurable file/reference/progress list presentation family. It does not certify every dialog or the complete app.

Source contract

SettingsAdvanced.cpp registers FullRowSelect as a default-true boolean. CResizableColumnsListCtrl::Init reads its DWORD and enables the native extended style for a nonzero value. Microsoft's style reference describes the selected item and its subitems being highlighted. This setting does not justify introducing a new marquee-selection system or changing Git commands.

Source consumer	Native surface
`GitStatusListCtrl.cpp` → `ResizableColumnsListCtrl.h`	Commit, Working Tree, Add, Resolve and changed-file/comparison tables
`RepositoryBrowser.cpp:214`	Repository contents; directory tree excluded
`WorktreeListDlg.cpp:88`	Worktree List paths
`LFSLocksDlg.cpp:61` → `GitStatusListCtrl`	LFS lock files
`BrowseRefsDlg.cpp:312`	Reference leaves; namespace tree excluded
`FileDiffDlg.cpp:148`	Revision comparison files
`CommitIsOnRefsDlg.cpp:126`	Containing references
`SyncDlg.cpp:1121–1132`	File, remote-reference and tag-comparison lists
`GitProgressList.cpp:978`	File-operation and shared LFS result rows
`ImportPatchDlg.cpp:175`	Checked patch list with retained result backgrounds
`FindDlg.cpp:142`	Reference Find results
`SetHooks.cpp:58`, `SetBugTraq.cpp:57`	Hook and issue-provider lists
`SetProgsAdvDlg.cpp:133`	Diff/merge tool associations
`SetLookAndFeelPage.cpp:194,329,445`	Context-menu Settings lists

GitLogListBase::SetStyle unconditionally includes LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT. Main Log, Reflog, Rebase and embedded history therefore retain whole-row selection. Blame's source grid, trees and ordinary editors are not consumers of this setting. The existing Hooks list already clipped selection to its first column; the shared implementation refines that to the actual primary label.

Native implementation scope

The Core presentation policy reads the source default and DWORD truth value. The existing Advanced store retains strict boolean editing, validation before mutation, changed-row Apply, blank deletion and Cancel. Its tooltip identifies the effective list consumer.

The shared native adapter binds to the exact table and its owning preference domain. It tracks the logical primary column independently of display order, uses actual text-field geometry or the file-list's measured visible caption, and clips selection to the available label area. Fallback captions use a vertically centered native text-cell frame; actual native text fields retain their measured baseline. Existing checkbox and icon columns are distinct from the primary label. Custom patch-row backgrounds and status colors remain part of the row's presentation.

AppKit source-list selection can paint without calling drawSelection. Label-only mode therefore suppresses the exact table and row selection styles and uses a layer-backed foreground overlay. Full-row mode and retirement restore the original styles, delegate and row class.

Native row identities, multiple selection, keyboard navigation, checkbox actions, context targeting, inline editors and accessibility selection remain owned by their existing controls. Detachment retires the adapter and restores the original delegate; queued preference callbacks cannot attach to another window's table.

Checkpoint and remaining acceptance

The focused Core policy/store group passed five tests. The Debug app build passed after repairing the Merge Tool preference plumbing. Grouped native checks passed the adapter and actual reference, containing-reference, Add, operation-result, Sync and Repository Browser consumers with Apple/bundled Git. They retain native actions, preference isolation, permitted column reordering, hidden-column behavior and owner retirement.

WindowServer captures exposed the SwiftUI source-list paint path and a fallback caption offset that property/geometry checks alone had not proved. The final repair explicitly suppresses/restores native styles, composites the selected label above the cells and centers its native text frame. The affected adapter was checked again with all eight AppKit/SwiftUI, whole-row/label-only and light/dark captures. A secondary-column pixel oracle rejects a retained whole-row highlight in label-only mode. The final captures were inspected; owned windows and receivers were closed. Batch evidence records the initial failures and focused repair scope.

These are diagnostic SwiftUI tables demonstrating the rendering difference, not screenshots certifying another dialog's complete layout:

Label-only selection, light diagnostic table

Whole-row selection, light diagnostic table

Label-only selection, dark diagnostic table

Whole-row selection, dark diagnostic table

Windows pixel/font metrics, every list/input/accessibility variant and physical signed distribution remain separate acceptance work. Raw Resolve/Sync file lists share the tested bridge; they were not independently populated in this checkpoint. Source row/pointer timing is adapted to AppKit. A scoped pass does not certify all source dialogs, current full hosted integration or the whole app.
