Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 23958
Multiple selections of drawing objects prevent editing of text or character options
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:38:24 UTC
Selecting multiple identical or different drawing objects prevents the user from adjusting Text and Character styles for the selection. This makes changes to the document very tedious in that you have to select each drawing object individually. Of course I know that lines and boxes do not share the same set of styles, but why not allow the user (and drawing) to adjust these styles and drawing will apply them to all selected objects which do support it? Sometimes, changing character styles for a selection of objects will work as expected, but more often than not, it will just do nothing, although it will allow the user to edit the styles, but they will not be applied to the selected objects. Note that this applies to the Presentation application/component as well.
Reassigned to Bettina.
Tested with OOo 2.0.4, WinXP PC. This problem seems to have been fixed- works for me. @'carstenklein', can you please confirm whether latest release of OOo has fixed the problem you originally reported. Cheers.
To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements".
