1. create a new OOo text document
2. type '%theta'
3. select the entered text using HOME followed by SHIFT+END
4. convert the selected text to a formula using ALT+I, O, F 
5. attempt to type your next word

After the formula has been inserted, the *text* cursor should be given back,
rather than the resulting object being highlighted in the current way.

The current behaviour requires a rather unintuitive ESC key press before the
user can continue typing.

For anyone writing a document with a lot of formulae and symbols, this small
change would make usability quite a bit nicer.

A further unituitive thing is that after pressing ALT+I, O, F, the UP and DOWN
keys seem to move the formula around. Worse, after pressing 'UP', pressing
'DOWN' does not return the formula to its original place. And pressing 'DOWN' a
second time moves the formula *up* again. Pressing 'LEFT' and 'RIGHT' don't do
anything. I don't know what this feature is, and I don't see any conceivable use
for it; I would rather that the arrows did what I was doing just before I
pressed ALT+I, O, F: moving the cursor around my document.

I would like to say here that the forumula editor has managed to create a good
syntax that is easy to use and intuitive, so well done on that and thank you
very much.
