Thanks for the report. Was able to reproduce the problem with OS X 10.8.4, LO 4.1.0.1.

Setting to NEW. OS setting to ALL.

I have tested the provided document under these setups:

- Crunchbang 11 TDF/LO v3.5.7.2
- Ubuntu 10.04 TDF/LO v3.6.0.4
- Ubuntu 10.04 TDF/LO v3.6.6.2
- Ubuntu 10.04 TDF/LO v4.0.3.3
- Crunchbang 11 TDF/LO v4.1.0.4

This appears to be a regression. Version v3.6.0.4 and prior work as expected, while versions 3.6.6.2 and later do not i.e., the graphic inhibits selection and general manipulation of the foreground text. The instructions in this AskLO thread indicate that the function has worked previously:

http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/4683/full-a4-background-image-in-writer/

...however a recent answer in that thread also indicates that it has now stopped working.

Added keyword REGRESSION as a result of my testing in comment #2.
