I'm using LO 24.2.7.2 on UbuntuStudio.  I never get a cursor anywhere after inserting an image 
until I mouse click somewhere.

Pasting an image with default anchor set 'To character' leaves a paragraph marker (pilcrow) below 
the image but you can't type into it until you mouse click on the page somewhere below the image. 
After clicking, you can enter a space and then progress normally.

If you change the default anchor setting to 'As character', the arrow keys sometimes both work but 
only within the size of the image. Typing a space or anything else does not. Hitting return does 
not. The only way I've been able to restore typing operation is to click in either margin alongside 
the image and then hit return to create a new para beneath the image.  Clicking below the image 
does not work.

If the formatting default is set to 'As paragraph', the arrow up / down arrow keys just move the 
image. You cannot enter a space or type anything else even though there is a pilcrow beneath the 
image. You need to click in the margins or below the image to be able to continue typing. After 
clicking, you need to type at least a space before hitting a return to create a new paragraph. And 
you do need a new paragraph to paste another image or to continue typing..

So the behavior you get when inserting images depends on the setting you have for the anchoring. In 
any event, as far as I can see, you'll need to pick up the mouse for at least one click before 
continuing after the insertion of an image.
