Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice losing position between sessions - solved!

Could be.  Being basically lazy, I only put a first name into the 
form.  When I edit fiction, hovering the cursor over any of my edits 
shows a tag with either "Inserted: Jerry - Date and Time" or 
"Deleted: Jerry - Date and Time".  I just tested it by adding my last 
name to the form.  Edits done after the change show a complete name 
along with date and time. Obviously without any info in the form, the 
editing function wouldn't function correctly.

Jerry
