Bug ID: 120686
Summary: Unselecting a text box when multiple text boxes are
selected is awkward
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Impress
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: xc...@t-online.de
Description:
Use case: 10 text boxes are selected and I want to unselect one of them.
When working with plain rectangles, I can simply add/remove an item to/from the
selection by holding the shift key and pressing with the left mouse button on
the rectangle. This works perfectly.
However, when working with text boxes, adding them to the list of selected
items works as expected, but removing a text box from the selection does not
work as expected. I hold the shift key and click on one of the selected text
boxes. The text box is NOT unselected, instead the text inside of it is
selected from the first letter to the letter under the mouse cursor.
Workaround:
In order to unselect a text box, there are two different cases:
A) If the text in the text box does not have focus, then I have to shift-click
on the INVISIBLE border of the text box.
B) If the text in the text box has focus or is selected, then I have to
shift-click TWICE on the INVISIBLE border of the text box. The first
shift-click quits the text edit mode, the second shift-click then is like case
(A).
This behavior is the same in LibreOffice Impress and Draw.
This behavior is super unintuitive. Text boxes should behave just like
rectangles. Why would anybody want to edit the text of a text box while
multiple items are selected?
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create two text boxes
2. Select both text boxes
3. Shift-click on one of the text boxes
Actual Results:
The text in the text box becomes editable and selected
Expected Results:
Text text box should be unselected.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
OpenGL enabled: Yes
