Description Jax 2016-03-02 18:54:40 UTC
Standard text editting cursor behaviour in many other products on most platforms (such as in this text box) leaves users expecting that Ctrl+Right will eventually to take them to end of the last word, before jumping to start of next paragraph.

This is a very useful feature for those without easily accessible End keys (netbooks etc) and also seems a natural exception to the 'Ctrl+Right goes to start of next text block' behaviour.  It is also useful when using with Shift key to select text a word at the time.  Selecting all white space after the paragraph is not usually the most immediate desire.

If you are having difficulty reproducing, enact without a final full stop (aka period).  This represents an unfinished paragraph.

Hi Jax,

If I'm understanding you correctly, I cannot reproduce. Marking as WFM.

I'm running:
Bodhi Moksha
LibreOffice 5.2


Please test with a currently supported version of LibreOffice (4.2.8.2 has not been supported for a long time). If you can reproduce with 5.1 (currently supported) report back and mark the bug as UNCONFIRMED. Thanks
