Description: Currently, in Navigator view, Writer allows grouped highlighting of a selection of headers. In this condition, the last highlighted header, which appears in a dashed frame, can then go unnoticed and as a single header at a time is at most movable by dragging. As a consequence, this grouped highlighting misleads as to the role that can reasonably be expected. Steps to Reproduce: 1. In Navigator view, attempt to highlight a group of headers. See attachment; 2. According to step 1.'s expected possibility, attempt to drag that selection through the heading structure. Actual Results: 1. – operation allowed. See illustration in attachment. Expected Results: Header appearing in a dashed frame, to be the one remaining highlighted, if only needed.

Created attachment 148796 [details] Navigator – Several headers selected at once
@Jim, I thought you could be interested in this issue...
I am interested in using drag and drop in Navigator to doing multi-selected chapter promote/demote. The promote/demote chapter/level buttons can be used with multi-selected headings but currently suffer from deselecting after action. A patch has been submitted for enhancement/bug 124305 that keeps multi-selected outline headings selected after a move.
Let's move to NEW
