At the table of contents, I hyperlink to a section of a document. The 'back' tool selection does not become available and thus I cannot return to the table of contents. This behavior is seen on Windows XP and Ubuntu 16.0.4 This was not happening in my previous 5. LibreOffice Writer
Hello Lee, Thank you for reporting the bug. Please attach a sample document, as this makes it easier for us to verify the bug. I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'.

Please consider closing this bug. While the expected behavior is not as it was, it does work. Previously, selecting a heading in the TOC would send you to that section and set the back button active, ready to take you back to the TOC. Currently, selecting a heading in the TOC does take you to that section however, until you perform a mouse click (or possibly some other action in the section, the back button is not active. The work around is to mouse click in the document somewhere then the back button is available.
