Outliner: shift-drag only parents first selected object instead of all selected

  • open blender with blank profile
  • use shift-d to make several duplicates of default cube
  • in outliner, shift-click to select several cubes
  • drag one of them to another cube, hold shift
  • only one object is parented, instead of all of them

This contradicts the behavior of ctrl-p in the viewport, the outliner tooltip which says "Drop to set parent / Objects", and the functionality implied by the UI.

It also seems to be taking the first selected object in the list, rather than the object the drag started from, or the active object.
