Every mouseclick produces 3 tabs and the cursor has an unusual text selection triangle

I couldn’t get out of drawing mode in writer. Somehow I did, but now every mouseclick produces 3 tabs and the cursor has an unusual text selection triangle. What did I do and how can I get back to normal? (v7.1.3.2)

See LibreOffice Help on Using the Direct Cursor.
