Description

### What Happened?

While a file is being moved if you select any other file(s) and try to also move them next (ctrl-x) it will deselect those files after the initial move is complete.

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Move a large file somewhere and watch the status of the file(s) move.
2. Before it's finished moving, "cut" (ctrl-x) another file to get ready to move.
3. After the step 1 is finished moving, you'll notice that the file(s) in step 2 are no longer selected and you have to reselect them and cut them again to move those files.

### Expected Behavior

After the initial file(s) is moved any files selected during the move and/or cut (ctrl-x) should remain in that state after the initial file(s) is moved.

### OS Version

7.x (Horus)

### Software Version

Latest release (I have run all updates)
