Thanks Jim! Reproduced in recent trunk build: Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: f95c3994f0b6a82a3bc2ddfb68822b74479ae185 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded And in 7.6, since it was implemented with commit a8d357a31055dad9db0311b891687bec1b47f8c9. But the same happens if other objects are selected, like images or shapes. And in fact, if you select the object, then scroll away, you'll see that it actually jumps to the selected object. Possibly related: if some text is selected, clicking on "Avoid footnote" will extend the selection all the way to the footnote anchor. Balázs, you fixed bug 156094, what do you think?
Patchset 3 for enhancement bug 157370 included a fix for this and the text selection bug mentioned by stragu in comment 1. It was removed in in Patchset 4 in favor of a separate patch given here: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/157575
