<pre>I can confirm that this bug is still present.
LibreOffice version: 7.0.5.2
OS: macOS 10.15.7
I think the original problem is when performing a multi-selection (e.g. with
shift-key hold down) two things happen when only one thing should happen. After
clicking the first object, clicking inside a text area inside the second object
(e.g. rectangle with text) selects the two objects AND focuses on text area
clicked last. This leads to inconsistent behavior since it is unclear for the
user where the focus currently is (two objects or text area clicked last). In
my opinion, the only solution is to always focus the two objects (not the text
area clicked last) no matter whether the second click is performed on the
object or the text area of the object.</pre>
