... and "Shortcut Keys for LibreOffice Writer" [1] has this:

> Ctrl+Arrow Up    Move cursor to beginning of the previous paragraph

Am I missing something?

Ouch, you are right, I didn't check the documentation, my bad. Instead, I tested in MSO Word for comparison. In Word, Ctrl+Up moves the cursor to the beginning of the current paragraph while in LibreOffice to the beginning of the previous paragraph.

@UX Team, Should we change this issue to be an enhancement and change the behaviour to be similar to MSO Word or should it be closed as RESOLVED NOTABUG ?

I would like to change this. This would make it consistent not only with Word (which difference is not a problem by itself), but - more importantly - with selection mode: the combinations like Ctrl+Arrow and Ctrl+Shift+Arrow should move the cursor to the same position, the only difference being that adding Shift also selects the text between current position and the new position. Same with simple combinations like Arrow and Shift+Arrow.
