I believe this is different from Bug #17860, which deals with external drawing
objects.
The document in question is described below (see arrow bullets). It has
multiple drawing objects (boxes drawn within OOo).
Problem experienced today in OOo 3.2.1:
I have been able to select multiple ones in order to change the line settings,
but after a while I'd be unable to select multiple drawing objects. As a
workaround, when I re-enabled the drawing toolbar I was able to select multiple
objects again.
Problem experienced today in OOo 3.3:
Just before submitting this bug, I installed OOo 3.3 to confirm the bug hasn't
been fixed. It is now worse. Now when I click on one of the drawing objects in
one cell and shift-click on one in the next cell over, the focus moves to the
image in the first cell (i.e. that image is selected) and neither of the
drawing objects is selected. Toggling the drawing toolbar does nothing.
Description of document:
-> The document contains many pages of 4x4 tables which extend to the edges of
the page. Each cell (352 in total) contains a small image, a number, and a
rectangular drawing object for a border (line only, no fill). It was created
about 3 years ago with the OOo version of the day, and I've updated it annually
to change the borders around the cells. I make sure to click on the line to
select the objects.
-> The image and border are the same for each cell, though they're copy-pasted.
Due to the length of the document and because each of the 352 cells contains an
image, the document takes a long time to load, save, and even to scroll
up/down, zoom, and navigate. The file itself is only 201kb.
-> What I am trying to do is shift-select the border objects only to select all
16 of the "border" drawing objects on a page in order to change their line type
all at once. I have done this before for previous versions of this document,
and I have done so with OOo3.2.1 earlier today, but at a certain time it just
stopped.
A complicating factor is the toolbars that appear and disappear based on what
is selected. This causes the view to shift up/down, making it harder to aim for
the objects.
