Re: [libreoffice-users] last cursor position

I loaded a roughly 700 page document that had been saved on page 35. I was left on page 51 (of 
683), which is really page 47 with the way that I modify page numbering in the book. Shift+F5 takes 
me back to page 35 (real page 31) where I had left off. 

I am running on the latest release of Fedora and I have version 7.5.3.2 of LO. Pretty sure that LO 
was installed from the repos rather than a direct download, but I simply do not remember.

 This bug appeared beginning in version 7.1.0.1. Since then there have been
82 releases of LibreOffice. There have been 13 releases of 7.5 which was
when it was supposed to have been fixed. Now 7.6 has been released.

Apparently, we are in the minority of the more than 200 million users of
LibreOffice for whom this is a problem. I can only surmise the rest of 200
million users are only editing short 1 or 2 page documents so never
encounter the problem.

I wasn't aware of the SHIFT F5 workaround and wound up removing the distro
supplied version and installed 7.0.6.2 from the Document Foundation's
download site. 7.0.6.2 is the last version without the bug.

Would I prefer to use a more up to date version? Absolutely! But I
routinely edit documents of 100 pages or more and having to hunt down the
last edited location is a major problem.

Some day, when I don't have anything else to do, I'll set up another
computer and install the latest version to see if I can live with the
SHIFT-F5 work around.

Until then I'll stick with 7.0.6.2.
