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.
