Hi Daniel, If you didn't still done it, Fill first your User data in Tools > Options > LibreOffice and this will work. Thank you to confirm if this solves your issue.
Hi Jacques, entering my name in Tools > Options > LibreOffice did solve the issue indeed. It's still a strange kind of behaviour, as one wouldn't expect the two things to depend on each other. However, it works now, so you may as well set my request to Resolved. Best, Daniel
Can you try Shift+F5? This shortcut is set in Tools > Customize > Keyboard for: Restore Editing View. Regards Jacques
Hi Jacques, Yes, that works as well. I've cleared my entries in Tools > Options > LibreOffice > User Data to restore the old (faulty) behaviour. When I press Shift+F5 now after opening a document, the cursor jumps to its correct position in the document. Best, Daniel
Ok, let's close.
