Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 88117
Sound or Movie in Writer cannot be selected anymore
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:43:03 UTC
Insert a sound or a movie with menu 'Insert-Movie and Sound' or Drag&Drop in a Writer document. You can play sound or movie directly after inserting (delimter points are visisble). But after deselecting you cannot reselect this object. With the other moduls there are no problems. Note: With OOo 2.4 there is a similar problem in Calc and Writer -> Issue 87373.
MRU->OD: insert a sound or movie object into Writer (via "Insert.Movie and sound"), deselect it -> now you can only selcet it via the "Selection" from the drawing tools; also moving the object is only possible via cursor keys.
OD->OS: Please take over. Same reason as for issue 89371 - probably these issues are related.

close the duplicate
Issue 89371 was closed as WORKSFORME. To declare this issue as duplicate without checking the behaviour seems not to be the right way. In OOo 3.0 under WinXP and Linux the bug is still present. Therefore REOPEN.
->jolatt: If you don't like the resolution of issue 89371 then that doesn't mean that this issue is not a dupliate. The <ctrl>+click has been introduced to make it possible to select text that is 'on top' of drawing objects. This applies also to movies and sound objects. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 89371 ***
closing again
-> os The behaviour seems to be inconistent: You wrote that this concerns also drawing objects. But when I insert a drawing or gallery object in a new document there is no need to press CTRL. Insert a sound or movie object, deselect it. You can select it only with CTRL-mouse. Select the drawing or gallery object. Now you can select all objects until you click outside of an object. If you change the setting of in German 'Umlauf' there is no need to press CTRL to select a sound or movie object.
