Various Outliner paper cuts

Apologies if any of these are redundant; I couldn’t search any up.

  • when doing a B border select in the outliner, the window should auto scroll when the border reaches the bottom
  • until it is implemented, the unhelpful “not implemented” message that appears when doing right click on the geometry and choosing “make single user” really needs to be updated to something more helpful. E.g. “use Object -> Relations menu instead – not yet implemented here.”
  • when the filter text field has focus, MMB scrolling should still work in the main outliner pane

Last one:

  • open blender with default profile and scene
  • in outliner, select the cube
  • shift drag from the light just under the cube
  • observe that the blue “outliner selection” of the cube is lost, the blue “outliner selection” is now enabled for the light, the light is not selected, the cube is still selected
  • release the drag

Then:

  • open blender with default profile and scene
  • in outliner, select the cube
  • shift click the light
  • shift drag from the light
  • observe that the blue “outliner selection” of the cube is not lost, the blue “outliner selection” is now enabled for both objects, and both objects are now selected
  • release the drag

The second example results in the expected behavior. The issue with that is that if you are selecting a long list of objects with shift click, and you accidentally move your mouse just a little bit when shift-selecting the next object, it destroys the blue “outliner selection” pattern. It does not deselect the objects, but any outliner operations (select hierarchy, deselect, etc) no longer apply to the set of selected objects.
