Priority: medium
Bug ID: 64275
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Summary: EDITING: Cursor position is lost when moving the
cursor up and down
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Windows (All)
Reporter: patrickmood...@gmail.com
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.0.2.2 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Problem description:
When editing a document in Writer, the position of the cursor on the line is
not maintained when moving up or down through intermediate lines shorter than
the original position or the cursor on the line.
Steps to reproduce:
1. In a document with many lines of text with differing lengths, place the
cursor near the end of one of the longer lines.
2. Using the arrow keys on the keyboard move the cursor up or down through an
intermediate line which is shorter than the original cursor position.
Current behaviour:
The cursor position is reset to the length of the shortest intermediate line.
Sometimes, if the cursor has only been moved up or down by 2 lines, the
position is maintained as expected. However this appears to be a rare
occurrence, and I could not see the difference in the scenario where this
worked and where it did not.
Expected behaviour:
As long as no further editing or sideways movement has been done, the position
on the line of the cursor should be maintained, as near as possible, for each
line moved to using the up and down keys. If the cursor is moved up or down by
any number of lines, and returned to the original line using only the up and
down keys (or the "page up" and "page down" keys) it should be in exactly the
same place it started from.
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.0.2.2 release
