Created attachment 130772 [details] A document with single checkbox In attached document, there is just a single checkbox field between two spaces. No protection is used in the document. It demonstrates the problem: positions around the field are read-only in current master, as well as in LO 5.3.0.3. This prevents from removing the field using backspace or delete keys, if you don't previously select over the line. When such a field is alone in a table cell, or first/last in a document, then removing it is even harder. This works OK in OOo/AOO.
