Description:
I first encountered this in Calc after upgrading to the 7.2 series. Today I encountered in in Writer as well. (The last working version for me was 7.1.5)

In Calc, I had added the "Apply Style" dropdown to the formatting toolbar. After selecting a style for the current cell, I was unable to enter any text. Clicking in a cell or the input line did not provide a text cursor. Following the bug report guidelines, I wiped out my profile, which seemed to help, but it quickly returned. I did discover that I could switch to a different document and the cursor was present. After switching back, the cursor would again be present on the original document.Eventually, I created a style context menu for that particular spreadsheet with the custom styles.

Today in Writer, I encountered the same behavior with the Font dropdown. I selected a font and was unable to enter any text-no cursor. I switched to a spreadsheet I had open in another workspace and switched back. The cursor was available and I could enter text again.

I can also click on a menu or other controls to re-enable text entry. The impression I get is that dropdown / combobox controls are no longer properly returning focus to the document.

Since I have now seen this issue in both Calc and Writer, I chose LibreOffice as the component below. (Maybe it should be a UI issue???)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new document or spreadsheet
2. Use the dropdown to select a font or apply a style
3. Try to enter text
4. If the text appears, select a new font. It seems to fail after 2 or 3 tries and then every subsequent selection.

Actual Results:
I type and nothing appears. There is no cursor blinking. Selecting another cell in Calc or another area of the page in Writer does not provide a cursor.

Switching between another document restores the cursor. Selecting and deselecting a menu can also restore the cursor.

Expected Results:
Select a font or style and the cursor immediately reappears at the current position in the document or spreadsheet. Text entry should work normally.
