The bug as reported is not a bug: when two tables are both selected (CTRL-select), multiple items are shown in the list, and the description can then be updated for both tables at the same time ("<double-click to overwrite multiple objects>"). Also, both tables, together with "Multiple Items" (which is the default in this case) are in the dropdown list; from that perspective the dropdown is a correct GUI element. However, there is another issue here: when two tables are selected, it is not possible to select from the dropdown just one table (it revers to "Multiple Items" automatically). This seems buggy. In that sense, maybe the dropdown can be changed to just a normal text field, or maybe the dropdown can be left but made to work better (but what would that do for/with the selection)?

This is actually not a bug. If you select multiple objects in the diagram, all of them will be displayed in the dropdown. You can then edit the description for all selected objects.
