I can confirm this behaviour.
Running LO 7.0.0.3 x64 on Windows 10 with UK English edition.
Editing a document in LO Writer. Document will appear to "freeze". No mouse or keyboard movement within document, even when typing. Only option is to save, close and re-open the document in order to continue.
However, any text which has been typed will be present when re-opened.
Situation often occurs when switching task to another window then back again. Perhaps the period of inactivity in LO Writer is the cause.
Problem is very irritating, especially when not immediately detected. Issue only encountered recently after upgrading to Version 7.0

This UI freezing behavior happens to me too.

I am often editing my most important ODTs in writer, and switch to another app like chrome to do something else for a few minutes.

If i give focus to Libreoffice Writer again, the UI menu is still selectable most of the time, i just cant enter text into the window, scroll, or select headings in the page navigator.

I'm using LO 7.0.2.2
Windows 10
(10.0.19041 Build 10941)

Hi, the issue stopped occurring for me a few releases ago.
