Description LeroyG 2022-08-30 00:36:44 UTC
Description:
Add some text and two (or more) images to a Writer document, and it is impossible to select both images at the same time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new text document
2. Insert a .jpg image

I can select and deselect with click, or dragging with Selection tool (Drawing toolbar).

3. Insert a second .jpg image

I can select and deselect each one with click.
I can not select dragging.
I can select both with <Shift>+click but there are no handlers.

4. Select both, Copy, and Paste.

Step 4 only pastes the lower image.
Now I have three .jpg images.

<Shift>+click only selects the last one clicked.
Click selects only one at a time, after that <Shift>+click selects them all, but not two of them.
I can delete all at once, or one by one, but not two.
Paste Special (among other options) allows to paste a Writer document, but paste only the lowest image; but Gimp says that there is no image in the clipboard.

5. Paste some text.

I can not select images.

6. Undo the pasted text.

Again I can select the images.

7. Write some text.

All images are anchored to character (by default). Changing the anchor To paragraph do not seem to modify the behavior.

Actual Results:
After step 7, I can not select the images.

Expected Results:
Images can be selected.


Reproducible: Always

No, but select all of them.

> 5. Paste some text.
> I can not select images. [note the plural]

I can select one at a time. Shift+click only unselects the selected image if I click outside of the handlers rectangle.
