Description Larry Eppley 2011-09-25 18:03:43 UTC 
LibreOffice Writer does not conform to conventional standards for shift-click.  You should be able to both increase and decrease the selected text with a slift-click.  This problem was first cited many years ago.  Maybe the LibreOffice folks can do what OpenOfficeOrg has not done.  This is much more important than a mere enhancement.

This is a Writer problem, In Calc shift-click will both increase and decrease a selection.
