Telesto, unfortunately nothing has happened with this bug report for more than half year. So I'd like to ask, if it is still valid. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice? => NEEDINFO
New steps. 1. Open attached file 2. Double left click around 3. Drag it down to void space 4. Release Around moves to end of the text. Expected jumps back to original position.

If you drag beyond the end, which is the fact when pulling down, it should drop at the end regardless the horizontal position. You wouldn't have become confused however when the caret goes to the right place at the end.

Do you suggest that we block dropping below the end of document (which places the dragged content at the end)?
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #9) > Do you suggest that we block dropping below the end of document (which > places the dragged content at the end)? That's kind of what I'm suggesting :P. There are so much where this this works. You really need to drag it to the 'empty space'. If there is (empty) paragraph below, this doesn't work at all.. So scope already limited. And well drag 'down' to empty space to put it at the end is not a really natural experience either. This is more bad drag accident drag in my perception. But if this is 'introduced' by design, then there is likely someone somewhere actually using finding. Else it's more a 'bug' which might be seen as feature by some? I see it as a bug. Minor or trivial, but still a bug if you ask me (with my current knowledge). But well hoping there more people in UX able to give some feedback. Maybe this being useful in tables or something like that?
We discussed the topic in the design meeting. While I sympathize with the idea to block moving content beyond the end of the document it's understood as often-used convenience feature. So what we recommend is to keep the current status but put the caret at the last character to give a proper feedback.
