--- Comment #6 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed the topic in the design meeting.

The MSO way of interaction is activation/deactivation per single click with an
additional widget on top to rotate. While this nifty little thing is desirable
as the slow double click we require is impossible to figure without reading the
manual, changing the interaction in such a drastic way might not be wanted by
our users. And in some scenarios our approach is better, too.

However, indicating the group is valuable, if not necessary, as unselecting an
object still keeps the group editing active, which makes the Navigator useless
for this purpose. What we do, however, is to dim the other objects. Maybe not
obvious enough.

Two solutions come in mind:

* make the dim effect stronger
* keep the object selection indicator (these blue rectangles on the edges)
after entering the group but change the color to grey or make it a small dot,
etc.
