------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Mar 25 05:04:52 -0800 2006 ------- To select multiple objects (callouts, shapes, etc), we have to click on their borders; otherwise the last object's text (if any) is selected. There are two problems with this way of selection: 1. If any object has transparent background, (or a background color that matches with the surrounding areas of the slide), the use cannot see its edge. It is impossible to click on the edge. 2. In case the zoom factor is very small (e.g. 50%), the use has to find the edge veryu carefully; even a small mistake will destroy the earlier selection. He will have to make the whole selection again. Suggestions: 1. After selecting one object, if the user presses CTRL or SHFT, OOo should sense that the intention is to select multiple objects. So even if the user clicks INSIDE the other objects, OOo should do multi-selection. >> If the user has clicked inside the first object, OOo would be in text-edit mode. But a press of CTRL or SHFt should tell OOO that now it should switch over to object-selection mode. 2. Whenever the mouse moves over the border of an object, it should change shape, so that user knows when to click. This will be especially useful to handle objects with transparent/matching color. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
