[users] OO Draw - unreliable copy-drag behaviour

[Norm Campbell]

I'm using OO 2.3 on Windows XP. Although it's mostly great, duplicating 
objects seems unintuitive and unreliable. The problems are:
- you're supposed to select the object, let go, press Ctrl, click again, 
hold for 1 second, then drag. Why not just allow the user to hold Ctrl, 
click the object and drag immediately (with no requirement for the 
initial object selection)?
- even when the above operation is executed, the cursor frequently (50% 
of the time?) does not change to the + cursor so there's no visual 
indication that it's safe to start dragging
- while dragging there is no indication of the shape being dragged, 
which makes it difficult to position properly
- the alternative, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, and drag, is more predictable, but 
often (maybe 10% of the time) the "source" object (line or whatever) 
disappears and only reappears when a screen redraw is forced
- and finally, I don't see any easy way to force a redraw so I end up 
scrolling the entire page up off the screen and then down again

Are there solutions to these issues forthcoming?
Thanks
Norm
