Description Harald Koester 2013-11-11 15:42:49 UTC
Problem description: 

Steps to reproduce:
[1] Open a new text document.
[2] Disable option “LibreOffice Writer → Formatting Aids → Cursor in protected areas“.
[3] Insert a heading.
[4] Insert a protected (against manual changes) Table of Contents above the heading line: Insert > Indexes and Tables > Indexes and Tables... > Tab "Index/Table", Type: "Table of Contents" > OK. 
[5] Now it is not possible to insert a paragraph above the table of contents. Expected: It should be possible to move the cursor in front of the “T“ of “Table of Contents“. Then Alt+Enter should insert a new paragraph above the table.

If you enable the option in step [2] it is possible to move the cursor in front of the “T“, but it's still not possible to insert a new paragraph.

Reproducible but, for me, it is not a bug, only an enhancement.
That said there is an easy workaround: remove the ToC, insert the paragraph, insert the ToC. As inserting a ToC is automatic, it is very easy to do.

Note: IMHO, the need of this enhancement comes from a workflow that does use templates as it should. It is weird to create a ToC at the top of the document, the beginning of the document is the place of the title, not of the ToC.

Best regards. JBF
