Description nadavkav 2007-11-16 22:34:59 UTC
i have several objects in the document (various types) and i try to select them
with left-clicking the mouse button while holding down the ctrl (control) key on
the keyboard and it does not remember the last selected object.
it just selects the new one.

holding down the shift key does what i would expect of the control key.
i think it is an accepted standard across OSes that ctrl + mouse click add new
selected object to the group of selected objects. 
if so, please change the OO behavior.

Known problem, see issue 30523. Currently, multiselection will only work with
object created by the drawing tools.
