This bug report indeed needs an overhaul. I attempted to drag around the shapes
(assuming those be selected). This wasn't the case, I some point I started
Shift+ Clicking elements (but well those elements are not evenly distributed..
So not really an option..

Ultimate I found that select an Item and drag would work (what I actually tried
was Shift drag square after clicking. Not simple drag after clicking an object. 

So I had a hard time to get what I wanted.. next question is.. me that stupid
or this having really specific workflow.

Select the full shape & paste it into Draw.. Now you can drag around the same
to get a selection.. this is actually what I would desire/expect. But well Draw
canvas is not writer canvas, so no clue if this doable
