            Bug ID: 123088
           Summary: Allow in Navigator view focused on Headings, the
                    selection of several headers to be dragged at once.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.1.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
Feature request: allow in Navigator view focused on Headings, the selection of
several headers to be dragged at once, if required conditions have been
fulfilled.

Steps to Reproduce:
None.

Actual Results:
At most a single header at a time can be dragged through an Headings'
structure.

Expected Results:
In cases where many enough headers are present in a document and many of them
have repetitively to be relocated, desired efficient work-flow cannot be
achieved due to the essence of the current one-by-one header's dragging
feature.

However, I have observed that some of those headers would have been eligible to
be dragged together at once, by implementing a mechanism relying at most on two
required conditions:

Only when the following conditions are fulfilled regarding selected headers –
be they main headers or sub-headers – could then those headers be dragged
somewhere else through an Headings' structure:

1. Same-levelled;
2. Form a continuous chain or chain part.

thanks to issue 123084 which was conveniently still alive when I submitted the
present request, that last one could at least easily be illustrated – See
attachment –. Cases that represent a continuous headings' chain or a continuous
headings chain part are mentioned in the illustrations themselves as such.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
