There is definitely a good use case for selecting multiple objects in Writer - given that it is possible to create multiple objects which form an ensemble, a diagram, of some sort - you would want to be able to move them together or align them, just like in Impress or Draw. It's true that we use drawing facilities a lot less in Writer - but they are supported and used. > and we should block the remaining functions. Only as a temporary measure, until they are implemented consistently and with proper consideration to cross-page behavior. Now, we did not have agreement on whether multi-selection should be re-enabled in the future, but we also did not agree on blocking it permanently. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
