(In reply to Yurij Z from comment #68) > Shift+Click doesn't work as well as a rectangle-drag selection.
Granted, but that was not the OP here. The rectangle-drag has never been implemented for Writer. Only <Shift>+<click> multi-selection which has worked correctly for writer since the 4.3.5 and 4.0 releases.
