Document that replicates the issue.

This sample document replicates functionality on lots of our internal forms and this worked in OpenOffice.  It appears as if the canvas has changed in some way and this design has not been accounted for.


There is a simple table and in one of the columns they have inserted checkboxes anchored to the character.    In OpenOffice this works, but in LibreOffice when you click into the table and start to type the checkboxes begin to blink and hide.  You can still click into their hidden position and toggle them, and the form does print correctly; however this is very confusing for end users.

Tested only on Linux.

Checked 3.6 Alpha release and it's broken there as well.
