I am using LibreOffice Version: 5.1.0.3 Build ID: 1:5.1.0~rc3-0ubuntu1~trusty0; the bug is still there. It is almost five years that I am checking this bug and it has never been resolved. Folks here saying that "the bug has been fixed since LibO 4.3.5," it has not been the case for me. I installed all new updates; installed it fresh for every single major update since 4.3. The bug is still there and it is very annoying. It does not exist in Impress or Draw, it only affects Writer.
I am using LibreOffice as my main productivity suite and I usually have diagrams and images that I need to put an arrow or circle on it to show a specific feature in the image. I cannot group them in Writer. Every time, I have to insert the image and the drawing element in Impress or Draw, select and group them there; then copy and paste it in Writer. I think it is a major problem. I am a devoted Libreoffice user. I wrote my 350 page PhD dissertation in LibreOffice and this very bug was a pain in the rear end every single time. I hope someone resolve this issue once for ever. As it simply works in Impress and Draw! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1404358 Title: [Upstream] EDITING: multiple graphic objects cannot be selected with <Shift> key or 'Select' tool with mouse Status in LibreOffice: Fix Released Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: This bug was reported by Gleb to upstream (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79990).
