title="NEW - FILEOPEN: DOCX: Table is displayed behind the text"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=103978">bug 103978</a>.
Validated that the zOrder of <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=107428#c1">comment 1</a>'s LO_bug_in_bottom_textbox_20170425.docx
imports correctly. (Installed MRI-1.3.3.oxt, selected frame, run tools ->
Addons - MRI selection, method getByIndex 0, property ZOrder.)
So the problem to solve from this bug report is cursor access to the textboxes.
There is a huge Text Box 1 (lowest zOrder 0) covering almost the entire page
that is grabbing the cursor - even if you try to click on the higher-zOrder
text containers.
I expect that this is an extremely difficult bug to fix. Lowering priority
because of poor document design.
CC'ing Miklos because of the bibisect, but note that <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=107428#c4">comment 4</a>'s attachment is
an .ODT so that commit only exposes an existing problem. Removing regression
tag. (??Clue: textframes handles cursors better than textboxes/shapes?? [I
might not be using the correct terminology here.])
Revised steps:
1) Open the .docx;
2) Scroll to the bottom of the document*;
3) Click on the box with text [internal label = Text Box 3] and notice that you
can't easily select it. Instead, the cursor likely is placed inside the huge
textbox1. (You CAN select it by FIRST getting into frame-selection mode by
selecting the frame of textbox1 and THEN selecting the other textboxes)
4) Once in frame-selection mode, it is hard to get into text-cursor mode.
Double-clicking doesn't work. Just starting to type DOES work - but since the
box is full, the cursor isn't visible.
*Note: true of all of the "inside" textboxes - nothing special about the bottom
textbox.</pre>
