It doesn't matter what you think. The restoration of the last position has a clear known history in OOo [1]. The code is open, and all changes are stored in the git history of the project; there was never code that would allow to restore position in any non-native file format. You could had used a native format (odt), or you could had used a third-party extension (I don't know such, but who knows), or you could have used MS Word. Memory is an unreliable thing. But again: there was never such a feature in LibreOffice. Period. > > > This isn't really a duplicate of bug 112740 > > > though it has been marked as such. > > > > Yes it is. It asks to restore position in DOCX, as it does for ODT (comment > > 3). What you write in comment 11 (and in bug 112740 comment 6) is a > > *different* feature request - please file it separately. Thank you. > > No, it's not a *different* feature. It *is*. Just because you mentioned that you know that you want to have for MS formats what is *already available* for odt. And for odt, the last position is stored in the document. And the only way to have the *same* feature in an external format is to follow that format's creator convention. > I'm pointing out the train wreck ... And here you are talking about the different thing, as I pointed out. You may have a point and a reasonable feature request - that is different from what you wrote here initially. And even if your proposal would be implemented, it doesn't make the feature that Justin is implementing "short-sighted" other than the short-sightedness of those who don't appreciate implementation of others' needed features.
