Sample ODT document to test cursor position

When opening a sample file to demonstrate that LibreOffice jumps to the last edit position, I noticed version 3.6.0 (Build ID: 70ed7be) places the cursor one line 
ahead of any other LibreOffice or OpenOffice version.

The attached document opens in page 3, line 115 on any version of LO or OO except 3.6

To test this leave all user data blank and just fill First and last name with First and Last and then open the sample document.

In LO 3.6.0 the cursor is positioned in line 116

Hi Pedro!

Beta 3 seems to be okay...
Comment 2 Pedro 2012-07-06 08:45:46 UTC 
Hi Florian

I'm afraid not. Still opens in line 116 under Windows XP using Version 3.6.0.0.beta3 (Build ID: 3e2b862)
Comment 3 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2013-03-05 17:53:44 UTC 
I still see these smaller differences (I will have to check whether it's always "one line ahead") between "LibreOffice 3.6.5.2 " German UI/ German Locale [Build-ID: 5b93205] {pull date 2013-01-18} on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) in documents closed with 3.5.7.2.

Not a big thing, but strange!

maybe I did not understand the steps to reproduce...
if I open the test file on 3.6.0.4 and 4.1.1.2 (Win7 64bit) the file shows up with cursor positioned on page 1, line 1.

@Tommy

You need to change the User Data so that the First and Last names are First and Last and then open the sample document.
Comment 6 tommy27 2013-09-22 06:59:42 UTC 
how do I change user data? the test document is some kind of lorem ipsum dummy text.

The User Data in LO is under Tools, Options, LibreOffice, User Data

The instructions are to fill the first two fields in First/Last name/Initials with the word First on the first field and Last on the second field

For more information on the importance of filling User Data see

I did not know that option.

tested under Win7 64bit.
3.5.7 opens cursor at line 115
4.0.5 and 4.1.1 open cursor at line 116
Comment 9 Buovjaga 2014-12-11 11:45:23 UTC 
Changed user data like requested.
On Windows, the view jumped to a position that showed 105.. I didn't see the cursor, I pressed down key and found myself on page 5, 220.

On Ubuntu, it jumped to page 3, line 116.

Comment 10 Pedro 2015-02-06 00:42:09 UTC 
Bug fixed in 

Version: 4.3.5.2
Build ID: 3a87456aaa6a95c63eea1c1b3201acedf0751bd5

and

Version: 4.4.0.3
Build ID: de093506bcdc5fafd9023ee680b8c60e3e0645d7
Locale: pt_PT

tested under Windows XP Pro x86 SP3

However it's working but not consistently... Opening in 4.3.5.2 shows cursor on line 115 (as expected) before the first character while opening in 4.4.0.3 shows cursor after the second character of line 115.

So I'm not sure if it should be marked as FIXED WORKSFORME...
