I believe you are testing with both "General/Allow quick editing" and "Only
text area selected", right?
This gives the same behaviour as Microsoft Powerpoint, which is that if no
textboxes are selected then clicking on text will immediately activate the
insertion point and allow editing of the text. Pressing the Esc key is needed
to deactivate the text insertion point and to select the whole textbox (and
show its outline).
The behaviour I want is different and matches what Apple Keynote does on OS X:
if no textboxes are selected, then a single click on text will select and mark
the bounding box of the textbox but will *not* activate the insertion point of
the text and so the text cannot be edited. To activate the insertion point
requires another single click on the text, which will activate the text
insertion point and allow editing of the text. I find this behaviour safer as
I often want to move or resize the textbox without editing the text.
The current behaviour of LO with both "General/Allow quick editing" and "Only
text area deselected is close to what I want, but is different to the Apple
Keynote behaviour. In LO, the first click selects the textbox and shows its
outline, as in Keynote, but to edit the text requires a *double* click to
activate the insertion point and edit the text. I think that using a *single*
click to edit the text is all that is required, which is a simpler interface
and also matches the expectations from Keynote on OSX.
(Note that in Keynote, a double click selects the entire word under the pointer
which should probably also be the behaviour for LO, but if it kept its current
behaviour of also activating the insertion point, then that would be OK).
