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.
