Created attachment 63923 [details] File that remembered last editing position Writer only sometimes remembers and restores the last editing position. I have two examples attached. The no file, does not remember the last position, but the yes file does. open "no.odt" after editing, position a cursor at the end of the word four close and save open "yes.odt" after editing, position a cursor in word Ana between n and a close and save Thank you for your time Please note: I do have "User data" in Tools -> Options... -> LibreOffice Both files came from the same original file, at some point. Bath files have "Web Layout". <- that is what I would like, please. In "Print Layout", both file remembers the last position fine! I have a version 3.5.2.2

Checked with: LO 4.0.0.2 Build ID: own W7 debug build Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit Cursor position was always on top for both files, in both views.
I have now version 3.6.2.2 (Build ID: da8c1e6) and seems to work fine. I will close this bug. Thank you
Do not works with 4.0 branch. In all ODT i checked the last edited position was not restored when file are (re)open. All ODT file open are positionned on top. Very annoying with long documents.
Works (branch 4.x) only if the user fill-in its personnal info in the preferences panel, otherwise the position are not remembered. I do not really understand why -, but it was a strange behavior. I think that even if the user do not fill "personnal data" the last position lust be remembered...
Version is oldest version that the bug was seen, not the newest. Changing back. Needs to be confirmed by QA so moving this back to UNCONFIRMED -> thanks.

The solution is simply to have user identification set in preferences. It was a very simple solution, when we know it (it take me lot of time to found this). Perhaps a more easy way could be a good thing.
Oups :) ok I'll set this to INVALID as it's a better status in this case.
