Description Jack Phelan 2008-03-14 01:21:13 UTC
Version:           0.6.1 (using 4.0.2 (KDE 4.0.2), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.22-14-generic

As it stands, hitting "Select All" when in any mode but text selection does absolutely nothing, and can seem as if it is not working. My "wish" is that a message is displayed saying "you need to be in text-selection mode for this to work" OR it automatically switches to text-selection mode (that being what the user is trying to do).

We can't really add a warning, but automatically switching to text selection mode might be possible.

There might be a case for considering this to be a bug, rather than a feature.

It does not work in any mode for me.

Fix wrong check

Parker messed up the logic that force it to be in text selection mode
to be on non text selecion mode when doing an unrelated change.

As the "bug" as showed we can selectAll in non text selection mode as well
so remove the check altogether
