------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Mar 25 10:44:41 -0800 2006 ------- Yes, that issue covers only one part of it; and that too the developers are not particularly keen to allow that. (Pity!) However, issue 29804 is for Writer, where there are very few objects to begin with. but this issue is for Impress, where we fiond a lot of objects, and need to pick several objects from surrounding objects. So this issue is NOT a duplicate for issue 29804. ******* Selection by lasso (drawing a rectangle) is not convenient at all if you have to pick only certain objects from a lot of surrounding objects. ********* Time and again I have come across this phrase "works as designed". Well, I just cannot believe that Impress was specifically designed to behave this way! Do this experiment: 1. Create a new file with two blank slides. 2. Create two callouts on page-1. Enter some text in both. 3. Click inside one callout. Press SHFT and click inside the second. Notice that a part of string is highlighted in callout-2. Text in callout-1 is not selected at all. 4. Press CTRL+C 5. Go to the second (blank) slide. Press CTRL+V 6. Only the partial text of the second callout is copied into slide#2. >> Both callout SHAPES are not copied (Only some text is copied.) >> Text from callout#1 is not copied at all! >> Trailing part of text from callout#2 is also not copied. Why was Impress designed to behave like this? What was the practical application of such a thing? Clearly this was an undefined area, and during reviews also this seems to be overlooked. I think this is a defect alright! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
