Reproduction: 1. Open presentation program 2. Select a blank presentation and blank slide 3. Select text tool and create a text field on the slide (width should be about the whole slide.) 4. Select the "Position and Size" dialog by pressing F4 or from the Format menu. 5. Select the Rotation tab. 6. Pivot 90 degrees around the upper-left point and click ok. 7. Pivot the same field by 0 degrees around the upper-right point and click ok. 8. The text field should now be outside the workspace. 9. Deselect the text field by clicking on the slide background. 10. Notice that there is no way to reselect the field.
You can reduce the zoom factor (view/zoom) down to 5% what brings the textframe into sight again. Simply use + and - . Or you could use TAB to get the frame marked, use F4 and change the coordinates...
