Created attachment 151192 [details] Situation of multi-selection after click inside text area
(In reply to Timur from comment #1) > Please explain and add precise steps. What are rectangles, text boxes? > I don't reproduce with text boxes. I figured out that this problem only occurs if the second selection of the multi-selection is selected by a shift+click inside the text are of that object (see screenshot). The expected behavior would be that the multi-selection is a selection of objects. Instead multiple objects get selected but the focus is on editing the text of the object selected last. In the case of a multi-selection a click inside the text area should trigger a selection of the object instead editing the text. This happens for both, text boxes as well as shapes with area and text (e.g. rectangle with text).

What you're saying makes sense. Seems that current behavior was inherited from OO. I'll confirm as an enhancement and change the title.
Yes, changing properties should apply to all selected objects. But I cannot confirm the issue in 6.1, shape color, paragraph (left align), character (red font, font name, italic) all are applied to all shapes.
Dear rot_753, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b.

I can confirm that this bug is still present. LibreOffice version: 7.0.5.2 OS: macOS 10.15.7 I think the original problem is when performing a multi-selection (e.g. with shift-key hold down) two things happen when only one thing should happen. After clicking the first object, clicking inside a text area inside the second object (e.g. rectangle with text) selects the two objects AND focuses on text area clicked last. This leads to inconsistent behavior since it is unclear for the user where the focus currently is (two objects or text area clicked last). In my opinion, the only solution is to always focus the two objects (not the text area clicked last) no matter whether the second click is performed on the object or the text area of the object.
