[libreoffice-users] bug in Writer - unable to select text with image in background

Ubuntu 10.10, LibreOffice 3.3.1 from the LibreOffice download page, not 
from the repository or PPA.

I was working with a document in Writer that had a large image in the 
background.

I had Wrap set as "through" and "in background" checked.  This was the 
only way I could get the text to go over top of the image. Then I 
cut/pasted text for another document to "written" over the background 
image.  I made the document text be in two columns, working with only 
the left one, at this time.

Here is the "bug".  When I wanted to bold some words in the text, I 
could not highlight/select the text so I could bold it.  I could do the 
select/bold when there is no background image.  The "Select All" option 
still worked, but I could not get the first word in the line/paragraph 
selected to be changed to bold, italic, etc..

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a "bug"?

Some people would use draw for what I am doing, but I am more 
comfortable with Writer for dealing with columns of text.  So I worked 
on a landscape document with most of the page covered with the 
background image.  I use what I am most comfortable with, so right now I 
am using Writer.  Later I could learn to use Draw for this, or use 
Inkscape which is my default way of doing this work.  But I wanted to 
try it in Writer.
