Description pdevaney7 2020-09-24 01:20:37 UTC
Description:
When I move the cursor, it highlights the character instead of placing the cursor in between characters. This makes it impossible to edit documents, since it forces you to write over your old work. I don't know how this happened, or how to change it back to normal. It happens when I click to move and when I use the arrow keys.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.I don't know, it happens during normal use.
2.
3.

Actual Results:
It happened during normal use on two separate computers.

Expected Results:
.


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: No

Thank you for reporting the bug. I have never experienced such an issue. However, I do need more info to be able to reproduce the bug and confirm it.

Thank you for reporting the bug. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.
