Yes, it should work this way, if it doesn't then there is a bug
somewhere, either in your configuration files, or the version of
LibreOffice that you are using (Debian or LibreOffice download versions
btw ??)

You could try using the "Form Navigator" (look in the icons of the Form
Design toolbar). Open it up, and you should see a list of all of the
objects on your form in alphabetical order. Double-click on the label
you want to edit, you should be able to delete and rewrite the label
with the string of characters that you want. Click on any other object
in the list or outside of the Form Navigator window to make your changes
stick then save the form to write them into the file.
