It's the hand mouse cursor when you hover over the selection rectangle, right? (which isn't in sync with the border) (In reply to Telesto from comment #1) > Also in > Version: 5.3.0.0.alpha1+ > Build ID: 4136757b4e51c4e6f7cb4132c95538a7f831ef2c My experience is different, I bibisected it to the 5.4 backport of the following commit using repo bibisect-linux-64-5.4. The commit has been backported to 5.3, too, but it's only in 5.3.8. https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=cc438f60d6ad0855f754dd32da9c9a80c7cabf92 author Justin Luth <justin_luth@sil.org> 2017-07-06 14:54:27 -0400 committer Justin Luth <justin_luth@sil.org> 2017-07-15 03:39:26 +0200 tdf#103978 textboxhelper: syncProperty OPAQUE (wrap in background)
NEW per bibisect result.
Looking at it again: When the textboxes are selected, around their border the mouse pointer changes to a 4-direction drag handle. Clicking then makes it possible to drag the textboxes. This is the same experience as with my Word 2013. Clicking inside the textboxes puts the edit cursor inside their text, which makes sense.
The problem in Writer is that the borders and the selection rectangles don't match.
Dear Telesto, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION.

Comment 5 appears to be solved in LO 7.1 from commit 0afba07a597bf1d361624e10968855a802b859a0 Author: Miklos Vajna on Mon Nov 9 21:05:55 2020 +0100 DOCX import: fix <w:spacing w:before="..."/> for more than 58cm How I tested: -open Resume.docx -click on the border of textbox "Colton Loewen" to get the drag handles -grab the top-right corner and reduce the size by dragging. Result before the fix: the selection handles would be way to the left of the document - half-way outside of the application. Result after the fix: the selection handles remained around the smaller textbox as one would expect.
