Comment 2 R. Green 2020-03-30 10:38:21 UTC
On further investigation, it is possible to duplicate this bug from scratch:

1. New Document.
2. Insert > Image (chose a .png, say).
3. Right click on image. Chose "Insert caption". Write, say, "This is a caption" and set "Category" to "None."
4. Put cursor at beginning of caption line and try to type something.

RESULT: Nothing happens.
Comment 3 R. Green 2020-04-02 12:50:12 UTC
On further investigation it appears that there is an extra invisible character at the start of the line.

1. Repeat steps 1-3, above.
4. Set "Caption" style alignment to "Centre" (this allows you to see the problem more clearly).
5. Put cursor before first letter in caption and press [Shift] + [left arrow].

EXPECTED RESULT: No selection.
ACTUAL RESULT: A spurious space character is selected.

If you now delete this space, you can now type text before the first letter of the caption as expected.

Comment 5 Gabor Kelemen (allotropia) 2022-04-28 11:03:19 UTC
The hidden line break character was reverted when solving bug 123801 - now (i.e. since 7.0) if you add a caption to an image, there is no hidden character at the beginning and you can type in front of the caption.
