Test document to reproduce the regression

Resolution of bug #123259 (LO release 6.2.3.1 and above) has introduced a regression that occurs when anchoring a graphic object *as character* in Writer.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Download the test document and open it in Writer 6.2.3.1 (or above)

2. Right click on the graphic and select menu item "Anchor / As Character"

3. As expected, the graphic is now anchored as character, but the graphic is *deselected*.

4. Press Escape. The text cursor is shown *after* the graphic.

This is an incorrect behaviour.

First, anchoring a graphic should not deselect it. Note that doing the test with anchoring to page, to paragraph and to character do not deselect the graphic.

Second, after Escape is pressed, the text cursor should be located before the graphic to be consistent with the behaviour of anchoring to page, to paragraph and to character.

This regression can lead to serious issues when developing macros for Writer. Indeed it breaks the TexMaths extension (http://roland65.free.fr/texmaths) that I develop. TexMaths worked fine in LO 6.2.2.2 and before.

System: Ubuntu Linux 18.04.2 64 bits
Libreoffice 6.2.3.2 downloaded from www.libreoffice.org

I did all the tests with a *fresh profile*.

I traced the regression back to bug #123259 by compiling and bisecting and I found the problematic commit is 214e6ed5286566e689a4ef13a9115e2ad38fff57.

I tested your patch in master and this fixed the bug for me. The TexMaths extension also works again.

I checked today the 6.2.4.1 pre-release and it's OK, the bug is gone and the TexMaths extension works again.

Thanks!
