RE: I can confirm this and even reported two bugs : 273298 and 273335

["Richard Dansereau" <richard_dansereau@hotmail.com>]

Yes, the two bugs you mention occur on my installation as well.  It
would seem to be a bug in how OO Impress handles opening a new
window since any operation that requires opening a window popup
causes the selected text to instead "reselect" the text box itself.

I know this was all working last weekend.  I upgraded with apt-get
a few days ago and now this new bug has resulted.

It definitely makes OO Impress unusable.  (The only temporary work
around I see right now is to edit your text in OO Writer and then copy
& paste it into OO Impress.)
