Description:
Writer keeps in drawing mode after drawing an object, Draw doesn't

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Writer
2. View -> Toolbar -> Drawing toolbar
3. Click rectangle and draw a rectangle
4. Try to draw another rectangle - it does. Draw button acts as toggle button

5. Open draw
6. Click rectangle and draw a rectangle
7.  Try to draw another rectangle - it does. Draw button acts as single action button


Actual Results:
Difference between apps within same suite

Expected Results:
* Uniformity/harmony
* I like the Draw behaviour more. No objection to a shortcut key to change it to a toggle button, if you want to draw multiple lines/shapes. I prefer however to actively opt in for that instead of being default


Reproducible: Always

The discussion of this problem is in bug 90748.

I personally do not like the current behavior of Writer, but would prefer to have the same behavior as in Draw in Writer too.
