The problem might be the LO version that OpenSuSE uses. It may not
identical to the version that is available from www.libreoffice.org.
Using the latter version, I was able to select 16 consecutive pages
dragging down these pages.
You might want to report this problem to OpenSuSE as it may be a
bug in the version they provide in their distribution.
