pictures cannot be selected over an empty footer from Word .doc file

[Jack Leigh]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

See test.doc attached.
File has ended up with an empty footer. Images above this can be selected fine in Word 2007 running in Wine. In Openoffice, clicking on the sections of the images over the footer or body text does not select the image (even double-clicking doesn't work). If an image is already selected then others can be selected fine, even when clicking over footer.

Clicking on an image anywhere should select the image.

leighman, thank you for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. I was not able to reproduce this problem in LibreOffice Writer. I could click each of the 5 images at the bottom, anywhere within each image. Does this work for you?
