Believing that there will be only a single editor of a document in 2022 and storing last position in the document itself isn't the **only** way, in fact it is a really bad way because last one in wins. > 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. I fully understand "others' needed features." My software goes into medical devices and has for the past 10 years or so. In all honesty I hope to never have to have any of them used on me, not because I doubt my work, I just don't ever want to be sick enough to need a patient monitor, infusion pump, etc. Implementing "last one in wins" is short sighted and an architectural flaw. In today's world, especially the business world, there will be at least two, usually around six, people who work on any given document. They will all want their environment to come up to the last place they were. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
