Description Joanmarie Diggs 2024-11-07 14:43:26 UTC 
Paragraphs in Writer, unlike text objects in other applications, toolkits, and browsers implement AtkSelection.

According to these docs: https://docs.gtk.org/atk/iface.Selection.html

> The ATK interface implemented by container objects whose
> AtkObject children can be selected.

> AtkSelection should be implemented by UI components with
> children which are exposed by #atk_object_ref_child and
> atk_object_get_n_children, if the use of the parent UI
> component ordinarily involves selection of one or more>
> of the objects corresponding to those AtkObject children -
> for example, selectable lists.

> Note that other types of “selection” (for instance text selection)
> are accomplished a other ATK interfaces - AtkSelection is limited
> to the selection/deselection of children.

Michael: Please take a look. Thanks in advance!
