Restaurant brochure.docx: hard to place cursor inside the table

Starting in LO 7.4, I have to delete (or move out of the way) the entire-page group-shape before I can get my cursor into the content controls. (Note that the text is white on white in the cell.) I focused on the input control "Put a quote here to highlight this issue of your newsletter."

The content control itself is a blockSDT in a table cell. There is some kind of pseudo-object that runs top-to-bottom in the middle of the page that seems to be causing the grief.

7.4 commit 2951cbdf3a6e2b62461665546b47e1d253fcb834

I assume this is just a "consequential regression", and not a flaw in the patch itself.
Comment 1 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2024-03-22 02:20:41 UTC
reproduced in:

Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 53c5d570cab036b23f4969b858a648c8f0c24f93
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.5; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: CL threaded

Clicking on text selects Group 9. Deleting Group 9 allows selecting the field.

Attila is not active anymore, so I am upping the priority back to "medium".

(Note I just reported a crash using the same file in bug 160309)
