Q: Issue with pages since update to Sierra
My document freezes and the sidebar opens with a message that says "nothing selected...select an object or text to format" -- This is happening every few minutes, and it didn't do this before Sierra. Does anyone know how to make this stop?

I'm seeing the same thing. Every so often, the document de-selects my text insertion and gives me the "nothing is selected" message in the inspector window. In addition, from time to time, the document will scroll to the top and de-select as if it had just re-loaded the entire document.
This happens mostly when I am not doing anything, but can happen in the middle of a sentence as I'm typing.
My assumption is that Pages is doing a refresh/sync of my document and is handling the result badly. This should all be happening in the background, but it isn't. I haven't tried it yet, but saving the document to the local drive may give you better results, as this could be an iCloud issue.
I am using Pages 6.0 on Sierra and with collaboration turned off.
