Description Mike Kaganski 2022-07-03 11:30:07 UTC 
1. In a new Writer document, add a section (Insert->Section)
2. Put some text in the section
3. Insert an Input field in the section (Insert->Field->More Fields; Functions tab; Input Field), setting some initial text in its "Review Fields" dialog
4. Write=protect the section (Format->Sections; Write protection -> [x] Protect)

Trying to type anything in the section (outside of the field) now gives an expected "Write-protected content cannot be changed" warning - except when the cursor is immediately *before* the input field; when the cursor is in this special spot, typing will add text to the section (not to the field content).

I can type in the protected segment directly before the input field but I can't find a way to type immediately after the protected section. Tested with a .docx file both before and after it was transformed into a .odt file through a "Save As" operation. I downloaded the file off the internet. (I can't figure out how to make a protected document with input fields myself.)
