Even though the concept of being able to edit multiple view objects simultaneously sounds appealing, if it is too difficult to implement I think it can be left aside for a while, at least for manually-created objects. After all, if the user wants e.g. big fonts he can set them to his taste when creating the objects! Maybe all that is required is an easy way to set default properties (imagine you want to add many arrows with the same width, line type and color, not needing to change all of them for each new arrow is a good thing). I think the values were sticky at some point, but it is apparently no longer the case... We should probably add a checkbox or extra button to set current properties as default for other objects of the same type...

Now, the problem with legends is different as those are automatically-created objects. The user does not really get a chance to specify their default properties, which is the reason why it was *GOOD* to be able to change these properties from the plot dialog for all of them in one shot. Just restore that and allow sticky properties for manually-created object, and I'll be happy :-)
