SBA: The "try to reopen" was justified... Please let me explain:
In Writer, only draw objects can be multi-selected and grouped. This was broken
and fixed along with issue 37891. I did not realize that issue 32493 ("You
cannot select multiple IMAGES") was NOT a duplicate of issue 37891 ("Selection
of 2 DRAWING OBJECTS") and thus closed it wrongly as a duplicate.
I am sorry for the confusion. But let's leave the cosed issues as they are.
I talked to OD (the developer in this area). Implementing multi-selection all
kind of objects was indeed considered for OOo 2.0. It was dropped because of
limited developer ressources for the given time frame of OOo 2.0.
I don't want to bore you with details of the fact that re-working such an area
(Use the drawing engine within Writer, as Calc does it) is far more work than
"the outcome looks like from the users point of view".
Summary: This one is
(1) not a defect but an enhancement
(2) a huge effort that will require a lot of developers time
(3) a duplicate of issue 30523 (really! :-)
*** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 30523 ***
