Description Mike S 2025-11-05 20:05:51 UTC
Description:
I am a technical editor and have used Libre Writer for several years.  In many of my manuscripts I often group 2 or 3 images together.  In the past I've not had any problems by selecting one of the images, then while holding the SHIFT key, I select the other image(s). However, while working on a new manuscript, I am not able to group images. I've tried the SHIFT key, CTRL key, ALT key separately and in combination to no avail.

I am using version 7.3.2.2 (x64) with Windows 10.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.With 2 images inserted in text,
2.Select one image,
3.Then holding the SHIFT key down, select the other image.

Actual Results:
Second image is not selected and first image is de-selected.

Expected Results:
Both images should show selected.


Reproducible: Always

This is a old version. Could you please retest with current version 25.8? Thank you.

When I checked for updates, the response was that it is "up to date" (7.3.2.2).
So I re-installed version 25.8.2.2.
The problem remains as described.  I cannot group images.
When I click FORMAT, the option to GROUP SHAPES is grayed and unavailable.
