Please let me explain: In Writer, only draw objects can be multi-selected and grouped. This was broken and fixed along with issue 37891. I did not realize that issue 32493 ("You cannot select multiple IMAGES") was NOT a duplicate of issue 37891 ("Selection of 2 DRAWING OBJECTS") and thus closed it wrongly as a duplicate. I am sorry for the confusion. But let's leave the cosed issues as they are. I talked to OD (the developer in this area). Implementing multi-selection all kind of objects was indeed considered for OOo 2.0. It was dropped because of limited developer ressources for the given time frame of OOo 2.0. I don't want to bore you with details of the fact that re-working such an area (Use the drawing engine within Writer, as Calc does it) is far more work than "the outcome looks like from the users point of view". Summary: This one is (1) not a defect but an enhancement (2) a huge effort that will require a lot of developers time (3) a duplicate of issue 30523 (really! :-) *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 30523 *** --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
