Hello all, The sidebar has an area to edit the character properties (font, step size, etc.). Unfortunately, for certain objects that are part of a multiple selection, the sidebar hides the character properties area as soon as it becomes part of a multiple selection. This is despite the fact that the character properties are displayed for such an object in a single selection. Please open the attached test kit to reproduce the behavior: - Select the MetaFile object. Note that the chararacter properties ARE displayed. - Select the cube 3D object. Note that the chararacter properties ARE displayed. - Select the text fields and the Draw Shape. Note that the chararacter properties ARE displayed. - Now select all objects. Note that the chararacter properties are NOT displayed. This happens as soon as either the MetaFile or the cube 3D object became part of a multi object selection. I would like to emphasize here that this bug extremely affects usability in some cases. For example, when importing a PDF into Draw, it often happens that you have to replace the unavailable fonts with other fonts. This can usually be done quite easily by pressing CTRL+a and then changing the font for all objects at once in the sidebar (in the character properties). However, this bug prevents exactly this from working in some cases, because the character properties are hidden.

Impress is affected by this bug too.
I confirm. You can still modify the properties with multi-selection through the menu Format - Character.
