--- Comment #2 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
It makes no sense to adopt <Ctrl> based selection--that is simply not the
legacy we have inherited

Otherwise--how is this a "bug", it functions as implemented?  Confirmed NEW in
error... to UX-Advise

The Draw objects manipulated on Impress or Draw slide/page are different than
controls provided to manipulate Draw objects on Writer canvas or in Calc cells.

There is no magic wand to wave making <Ctrl> + selection function like it does
in other applications--it all would have to be developed. IIRC it is down in
the guts of VCL and the various edit shells. A whole lot of work to break
legacy behavior that is not wrong.

I'm not convinced this merits the effort.
