In other contexts, selection mode can even have sub-modes: https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/shared/02/20050000.html "Hold the Shift key to temporarily activate the Extending selection mode" etc. To help you a bit more with your missing user story https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_story here's my initial thought from comment 5 spelled out: I want to select many slides in my long presentation with a single selection action, so I resize the slide pane to its minimum width. My display is a bit small and some of my slides tend to look the same and it's hard to be sure what the content of the slide at the end of the range is. Gee, I sure wish the slide view would change to show the content of the last selected slide, so I didn't have to squint! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
