Title:
Writer: Up and down keys move cursor to random line positions instead
of directly up or down
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Immediately after writing some text in Writer, using the up and down
keyboard keys to move the text cursor results in the cursor moving to
unpredictable horizontal positions on the adjacent line (or in rare
cases, even *several* lines away) instead of in the expected position,
directly above or below.
I tried it with a new user and fresh ~/.config/libreoffice profile,
running in Unity, and could still reproduce the problem.
1. Open LibreOffice and start a new Writer document.
2. Type several lines of text uninterrupted and then, without ending
the paragraph, attempt to move the cursor one line up with the
keyboard
3. Contrast resulting cursor behavior to that of virtually every other
word processor and text editor (it usually ends up anywhere except
directly one line up or down, often appearing at the very end or
beginning of the line or somewhere entirely different instead).
4. Repeatedly pressing up or down immediately after this may make the
inconsistent movement more obvious (it starts to behave normally, and
then after more text is typed it jumps around incorrectly again with
up/down movement).
