Re: [libreoffice-users] What's with LO 7.3?

Same problems still exist in 7.3.3.  Except now when I reopen a doc
with Writer, it LOOKS likeit'sin the right place,e but the cursor is
off. When I type an arrow, then it shows me where the cursor really
is.

Unacceptable bug. I'll be filing this one with theLO bugzilla.

Thanks.
