Bugfixes

Fix for karbon crashing on clicking the pattern button in the toolbox
Make sure, items representing an object without a proper parent are removed as well
Do not trigger text tracing/repaining if we are only initializing the options dialog
Only repaint inside objects bounding boxes
Only show tool dialog when an object is selected
Always repaint bounding rect of edited text when changed
When inserting a new object in front of another, set the new objects parent and invalidate the groups bounding box
When grouping objects, remove all objects from their corresponding parent
Enabling the group/ungroup menu item when selecting objects from layer list view
The polyline tool was broken. When you clicked to place a point (after the first one), the point was always placed with x=0
Fix: a drawing bug when selecting objects
Object/layer listview is now better synced to the documents object hierarchy when deleting or grouping/ungrouping objects
Visiblity and locking states are now set correctly from the layer listview
"Crash when changing the color of more than one element" (#111147)
"Export only exports the first layer" (#111144)

GUI improvements

Made transform docker do something usable.
Improved shadow tool and fixed saving shadows as seperate objects for now (#92987, #92982)
Create text with horizontal path when just clicking with texttool
Always initialize with selected object when showing the tool dialog
Made texttool selection changing (triggers views selection changed signal)
Set all shadow options properly in tool dialog
Cancel tool when pressing cancel button
Improved selection tool which now has the following abilities:
- left mouse click to select single object
- ctrl + left mouse click to add to current selection
- ctrl + right mouse click to remove from current selection
- ctrl + left mouse drag to add objects within selection rect to current selection
- ctrl + right mouse drag to remove objects within selection rect from current selection
- pressing shift while scaling makes scaling keeping the aspect ratio (adjusted to shape tool behaviour)
Enabled multi-selection within the layer listview
Object/layer listview items get automatically selected when selecting their corresponding object with the selection tool
When embedded zoom the drawing so that it's completely visible
Make this statusbar text label stretchable, so the rest of the labels won't jump around

File handling

SVG Import and Export

Usability improvements

Layers open themself -> only open layer list items when inserting them into list (#111206)
Copy/Paste over layers is not consistent (#111203)
Current layer looses selection (#111201)
Layer handling
- always select layer list item corresponding to active layer
- delete layer list items when undoing VLayerCommand
- do not allow to delete last layer (see also #111210)
When dragging a path to place text along, pressing shift makes the path "jump" in 45 degree steps
