            Bug ID: 153971
           Summary: Cannot direct-format paragraph, character when
                    selecting (one or more) text boxes
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: eyalr...@gmx.com

Suppose you create a textbox, type in some text into it, exist it's "edit"
state, and select it.

You now cannot access Format | Paragraph..., nor Format | Character...  - they
are grayed out. I believe this should change.

Now, you say: "Just double-click the textbox, and these will become available"
- but that solution, if at all, can only apply when you have a _single_
textbox. What if I have a 100? or a 1000? That is not an inconceivable number:
Just think of an imported PDF, in which every text run has its own text box. Or
just a drawing with many small shapes with letters or a word each.

Naturally, the effect of doing so would be the same as what happens when you
have multiple selected paragraphs (possibly disjoint) for which you're changing
the PS or CS.
