Hi, I really am not sure how to describe this issue which hass been bugging me for a while.

I made a video to show it https://priv-owncloud.phplist.com/owncloud/public.php?service=files&t=3d76382e2c694dd572ec2f27abd0be08

basically one some lines in a document, which was created and used only in libreoffice and only on my machine, the cursor appears to be one or two characters in from the end of the line. Then, after a while it gets worse, the backspace button for deleting starts to act like right arror and the delete key simply removes text from lower lines.

If I save and reboot my machine it's fine again. I am on a thinkpad t430 using fedora with gnome three.

That seems like a really weird one and probably hard to reproduce.
Could you try installing the most recent stable LibreOffice in parallel and see how it behaves?

64-bit package:

Let's set this to NEEDINFO and think about our next move after you have tested with 4.4.
