difference between CTRL-A and manual selection of all items

Description

The "CTRL-A"-hotkey differs a little bit from the behaviour of manual selection of all items on a board. If one selects all items with CTRL-A the following is missing:

  • statusbar doesn't show the selection-count
  • properties pane doesn't shows the common item-parameters
  • properties pane still shows a string "nothing selected"

Steps to reproduce

  1. open attached project, open board: CTRL_A.zip
  2. appearance-panel-->selection-filter-->enable all items
  3. appearance-panel-->choose preset "All Layers"
  4. box-select all items on the canvas and observe (see left picture):
  • 22 items reported as selection on statusbar
  • also properties pane (left side) is active
  1. LMB on empty canvas to clear selection
  2. hotkey "CTRL-A" to select all, notice (see right picture):
  • no selection-count on statusbar
  • properties pane (left side) is empty
