Comment 58 for bug 1481835

I made an account on this platform for the sole purpose of adding this comment to this thread.
I found this when searching Why, Oh, Why I can't seem to perform the mindbogglingly basic task of selecting two images at once -- despite LO Help telling me Sure You Can!

Although I have not once ever, while using any software at all, run into a problem with the primordial first function anything should have ('SELECTING'), this has been a known 'bug' FOR OVER A FULL DECADE.
SELECTING MORE THAN A SINGLE IMAGE. 10+ YEARS.

Y'all are the reason Open Source gets a bad rep.
Can I/do I need to pay someone to get cracking on this? Is there any progress expected before - say - 2050? With SELECTING THINGS?
