Graph captions end up in unusable state on OS X

[martyngigg]

This issue was originally TRAC 10220

See attached screenshot.

From the help email:

Periodically when editing the captions on graphs I will get a graph window into this state where a blue text box appears at the top left hand corner. I can't seem to escape from this box, enter anything into it, or edit any other properties. This means the graph is dead and needs replotting.

Additional information from user:

What produces the blue box in the first place appears to be the following:
Double clicking on the legend in order to edit the text there, then immediately double clicking on another text field, say the graph title. Instead of editing the title text the blank blue box appears in the top left hand corner.

However I can't reproduce any fault with that box at will - just clicking anywhere outside it makes it disappear and everything is OK. It is only intermittently that the real bug, the box locking up, occurs.

I can't work out what causes it to lock in place.
