How editing the text field works in current Writer master and in Word 2016
This is a followup to bug 150037
If the attachment 181299 is opened in Writer and you click once on the text
input fields, the whole placeholder is selected and typing overwrites it -
correctly.
However if you click outside of it, and click on it again, Writer again
highlights the whole field and typing overwrites it, while in Word it is not
highlighted: the cursor is placed inside and you can edit the previously added
text.
1. Open attachment 181299 in Writer
2. Click once on the text field after "CREATED BY" and type something
-> the placeholder disappears, replaced by the typed text
3. Click outside the field, then on it again
-> the whole text you entered is highlighted
-> do the same steps in Word: the typed field content is not highlighted.
This behavior would make more sense to copy.
