Summary: Writer document does not open at last cursor position
Product: LibreOffice Reporter: JohnHa <john.ha24>
Component: WriterAssignee: Not Assigned <libreoffice-bugs>
Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE    
Severity: normal CC: aron.budea, john.ha24, telesto
Priority: medium    
Version: 7.3.7.2 release   
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)   
OS: Windows (All)   
Whiteboard:
Crash report or crash signature: Regression By:
Attachments: A test file to test the location where Writer opens the document

Description JohnHa 2022-11-18 01:00:59 UTC 
Description:
If a user has inserted User Data in Tools > Options then any document they open should open at the position at which the cursor was located when the document was closed.  

The document opens at the very top with the cursor at the first character.

This is a regression - it worked as expected in 7.0.6.2.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Insert Surname, Forename and Initials text in Tools > Options > LibreOffice > User Data.
2.  Open fred.odt which has a few pages of text.  
3.  Make a small edit on the last page.  Do not move cursor - leave it at the edit.
4.  Save fred.odt
5.  Open fred.odt

Actual Results:
Document opens with cursor at top of document

Expected Results:
Document should open at the last cursor position on the last page.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
This is a regression - it worked as expected in 7.0.6.2.

I then installed 7.3.7.2 which used the profile from 7.0.6.2 so it is not a profile problem

Other users are experiencing it.

Not reproduceable.  Possibly caused by a lock file being present when tested.

A test file to test the location where Writer opens the document

I attach fred.odt which I am using for testing.

The behaviour is quite random and the document opens with the cursor at different positions on each opening.  Some of the locations of the cursor are repeated on different openings but none are where the cursor was located when the document was saved.

I reset the profile and added back the User Data.  The random behaviour continued.
