Screen-shot of where the cursor got "stuck"
Editing my 80k wd MS, ran a spell-check, made a small text alteration, and was
interrupted briefly by a pop-up reminder from Workrave to take a break. The
cursor ended up in the header area, and I could not shift it from there.
Clicking anywhere in the main body of the document had no effect at all - the
click was just ignored. I could click into the header area where the cursor
had ended up: in that case, the normal UI elements appeared (see screen-shot).
Hang on... while filling out this bug report, LO has finally allowed me to
click back into the main body. I wonder if it's because in the meantime,
another Workrave pop-up reminder has just appeared?
I had planned to close the doc and re-open it, as I do when it becomes
impossible to make any selection of text (only able to *move* the insertion
point/cursor), which I've been experiencing now for the last dozen or so LO
versions released. In those cases, once (maybe twice) I've managed to get LO
working again normally by changing the "Standard selection" option via the menu
available via the rectangle-beside-Ibar icon at the bottom of the window.
Usually, though, no choice on that menu helps, and I have to close and reopen
the doc.
