Normally an object can be selected by a click-and-drag outline enclosing the object. However for objects with rectangular (different length and width) outline, when they are rotated, a selection can't be made by drawing an outline around the shape. Steps to re-create the problem. 1) Create a new LO-Draw document. 2) Draw a rectangle (length and width different) 3) Rotate the object by 90 degrees (either direction) 4) Attempt to select the object by drawing an outline just outside the shape!
Verified with 3.5.0 on Windows 7 Steps to reproduce: 1: Insert a custom shape via "Basic Shapes", "Symbol Shapes", "Block Arrows" or so. 2: Use the "Select" tool in the "Drawing" Toolbar to select the inserted shape. See it only requires just enough area to be enclosed to select the shape. 3: Rotate the object and try to select the shape again by "Select" tool. Now it requires a lot larger area to be enclosed in order to select the rotated shape. Reproducible every time on Calc, Writer and Impress. A sample doc will be attached.
Created attachment 59786 [details] A sample doc created on 3.5.0
The bugdoc consists of 3 slides w/ an arrow block each. Slide 1 - a fresh insert Slide 2 - rotated at a right angle Slide 3 - rotated shape converted into a metafile The arrow block in Slide 1 only requires just enough area to be selected. But as for Slide 2, a lot larger area is needed to select the arrow block. Copied the rotated shape into Slide 3, and converted into a metafile. See its borders has gone larger. And notice that the size of the metafile is the size needed to enclose the rotated shape to select it before the conversion. Behaves the same if converted to a bitmap instead of a metafile.
