Bug Description

This bug was reported by Gleb to upstream (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79990).

Problem description:
When selecting multiple graphic objects with <Shift> key or 'Select' tool with mouse
selection dissapears.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Draw some graphic objects (squares, lines, etc)
2. Press 'Enter', 'Enter', 'Enter' ...
3. Insert an image from file under graphic objects
4. Try to select graphic object obe by one with <Shift> key pressed or 'Select' tool with mouse (selection rectangle should contain all objects - images and graphic objects).

Current behavior: when selecting drawn objects with 'shift' pressed an image selected unexpectedly.

Expected behavior: adding 2-nd, 3-rd objects to current selection.

Created attachment 47570
Testdocument for shift+click

Open attached document click on first rectangle. Then shift+click on second rectangle.
Expected: Both rectangles are selected together.
Seen: The selection jumps to the picture.

Remove the picture.
Again click on first rectangle, then shift+click on second rectangle. Now it works, both rectangles are selected.

This error comes over form OOo. There it was OK till DEV300m75 and is broken since DEV300m76.

Note: workaround only works, when the second click (first point of the selection frame) is not on the header or the footer area (start at bottom of the rectangle).

This makes it a total of 5 (possibly 6) duplicates of this bug, which shows how much attention this issue gets from users.

To prevent further duplicates, we should think of renaming this bug with something that includes all cases, something like:
"Shift-click for selecting multiple objects or sections is not possible when document includes a picture"

I confirm that this bug is very annoying. Imagine a picture with a number of arrows and captions. If I want to move it I have to select and move everything individually. Not the end of the world but very frustrating. We need to be able to select and group objects with pictures.

Dear Joel!
I understood, you mean that 4.2 is still supported, so this bug should not be added to newer 4.3. I missed this, thank you!

But I can't believe that it does not work. Even more I can't group two images too. May be the problem is caused by self-appearing contextual toolbars (problems with focus).

The ability of grouping objects in text processor is essential.
This bug makes bad reputation of whole LibreOffice project and may cause user disappointment.

Please fix this bug as soon as possible.

Hi Norbert -

Just to be honest - it's very unlikely that this will be fixed soon. We are a community of volunteers - people fix what bugs they want to fix generally. In the grand scheme of things this really isn't a big deal - compare to crashes, loss of data, or loss of MAJOR functionality (such as printing) and you can understand that this isn't comparably a big deal. That being said, the options are:

1. Submit a patch yourself;
2. Find a friend, family member, etc . . . to do so;
3. Pay for a developer to fix it;
4. Wait for a volunteer to voluntarily accept the fix

Comments such as "The ability of grouping objects in text processor is essential." don't add at all to us finding a solution (no offense but just clutters the bug report - and trust me, 1 in 10 bugs have some similar comment from users who want to say "THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE BLOCKER! or some variation of it).

Thanks for your feedback and understanding

No, this bug is different. It's about selecting Image(s) and Drawing(s) object(s) together.

So user is unable to select image(s) and drawing(s) with shift+click or Select tool rectangle for grouping or aligning.

You can try to draw something in MS Word 2003+, insert an image with Drawing Canvas and try to group these objects. MS Word allows user to select images and drawings together with mouse or <Shift>, but LibO does not.

If you can please fix this bug too.

I am using LibreOffice Version: 5.1.0.3 Build ID: 1:5.1.0~rc3-0ubuntu1~trusty0; the bug is still there. It is almost five years that I am checking this bug and it has never been resolved. Folks here saying that "the bug has been fixed since LibO 4.3.5," it has not been the case for me. I installed all new updates; installed it fresh for every single major update since 4.3. The bug is still there and it is very annoying. It does not exist in Impress or Draw, it only affects Writer.

I am using LibreOffice as my main productivity suite and I usually have diagrams and images that I need to put an arrow or circle on it to show a specific feature in the image. I cannot group them in Writer. Every time, I have to insert the image and the drawing element in Impress or Draw, select and group them there; then copy and paste it in Writer.

I think it is a major problem. I am a devoted Libreoffice user. I wrote my 350 page PhD dissertation in LibreOffice and this very bug was a pain in the rear end every single time.

I hope someone resolve this issue once for ever. As it simply works in Impress and Draw!

Hi Seakha,

Now looking at the original report:

This simply works for me in 5.0.5.2 on Ubuntu (thus didn't bother to check other versions.)
Therefor I expect your problem to be a (bit) different. Could you please open a new issue with clear description of the steps and test document as attachment?

(And even if the same problem would have occurred, there would have been another underlying problem probably, thus also then a new issue is the way to go :) )

Closing again..

Hi Yasunori Endo

Which version are you actually referring to? 6.4.3.2 does not exist yet. I assume you used 6.3.4.2

I tried with the latest pre-release, 6.4 RC1, and the bug that is described, i.e. the issue with selecting two *shapes* (the blue rectangles), is not reproducible.

If you refer to the issue with selecting two *pictures* or *one picture and one shape*, you are looking for bug 34438, just like explained in comment 62. Your help for that one would be really appreciated! But I see you already took it on there. :)

Yurij, please try with a current release of LibreOffice (7.1 or 7.2), and if you are still able to reproduce the issue (selecting two rectangles with shift + click), please open a new bug report as this one as already overwhelmingly big.
You can then link back to this one in the "see also" field.

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.

Resolved => FIXED -- DO NOT REOPEN, and see also bug 122179

Just tested with:
OpenOffice.org 3.3.0
OOO330m20 (Build:9567)

Issue was there, so marking as inherited, and removing the bibisect request and regression keywords.

Works as expected in 7.6 alpha0+.
