Created attachment 100937 [details]
just like I explain before

Problem description: 
When I try to edit words in the box object, I usually press F2 to manually edit it or double-click it. Sometimes I get some auto blocking like depicted in the picture (the blue block sign) and sometimes I also get auto-deleting last words when I try to insert additional words in the middle of sentence in the box objects.
this is sometimes happen, but mostly happen.
Steps to reproduce:
1. after creating long diagram using box object menu and "connector line" try to add some words or sentence in the object


Current behavior:
sometimes it behave to auto-delete the next words in the place where is in the middle of the sentence I tried to add some more words
Expected behavior:
auto deleting the next words/characters and sometimes also auto blocking.
              
Operating System: Windows 8
Version: 4.2.4.2 release

Do you have a laptop with a touchpad with tapping as clicking enabled? Somehow that screenshot and your description brought to my mind the accidental tapping of a touchpad with the side of one's hand resulting in selection and typing chaos.
I'm sorry, if it is a silly question, but I'd like to rule it out, so NEEDINFO.

Actually it is not about touchpad accidentally touched. I already checking it at that time then found that this problem seems to be happen randomly. I can't predict where (at the diagram) and when this problem can happen. But mostly with complex diagrams (with lots of blocks and connector). Meanwhile this complex diagram pasted into the Writer, sometimes the Writer also gained problem reading the format of my diagrams, so it will look messy.

Thanks.

Can you attach an example file, so we can try to reproduce the error?
