Description Regina Henschel 2014-10-05 19:56:22 UTC
Created attachment 107378 [details]
Document with textbox in shape

The textbox is not usable without mouse.
To reproduce:
Open attached document.
Press Shift+F4 to select the shape.

Now try to switch to text edit mode.

Look at https://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Shortcut_Keys_for_Writer
According to help, "F2 or Enter or any key that produces a character on screen" should result in, "If a text frame is selected: positions the cursor to the end of the text in the text frame. If you press any key that produces a character on screen, and the document is in edit mode, the character is appended to the text."

Or look at https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/General_Shortcut_Keys_in#Shortcut_keys_for_editing_or_formatting_documents
According to help, "Enter (if a drawing object or text object is selected)" should result in, "Activates text input mode".

All these methods work, when a shape without textbox is selected, but neither of them work, when the shape has got a textbox via "Add Text Box".
