Correct, just the three outer frames can be mouse selected as they each block
selection of overlapping/nested frames.
But until the Frame actually has focus (not just the text cursor on selection
in Navigator) the Text Frame object is not exposed.
Trivial to expose for editing with Navigator:
Mouse select the frame (text cursor moves into the object, but object handles
are not active).
Context menu -> select "Text frame" -> select "Edit" (object handles activate,
and Frame object dialog opens).
Setting enhancement here, as the Text frame objects should allow Z-order
"arrangement" to permit GUI focus of overlapping/nested Text frames.
"Text frame objects do not honor Z-order arrangement and allow selection with
overlapping or nested Text frame objects."
@Reginna, is that the right way to describe the enhancement? And does ODF
support it?
