Description stfhell 2012-10-10 11:04:46 UTC
In some documents, the key combination "ctrl+end" (bound to "To Document End") does not move the cursor to the end of the document. Sometimes it jumps to the footer area, sometimes it doesn't move at all.

Very old bug, first reported for OpenOffice on 2008-01-15, see Apache issue #85255:
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=85255

I had the same problem with the XTextRange method gotoEnd() in 2009.

The ODT shows that Ctrl+End does not move the cursor to end of document

First, apologies for the long delay, QA team is overworked but we're growing so hopefully going forward bugs won't take months to confirm :)

That being said:

Updating version as you said it was inherited by OOo - version field reflects oldest version we see the problem - if we inherited it then 3.3 beta would be appropriate - really we should have a version "OOo days" ;)

Thank you for reporting this issue! I have been able to confirm the issue on:
Version: 4.2.0.0.alpha0+Build ID: b0a1666f756aa5f5315366eca9d7d02ddd55d2b
Date:   Tue May 28 08:51:01 2013 +0300 
Platform: Bodhi Linux 2.2 x64

As I've been able to confirm this problem I am marking as:

New (confirmed)
Minor - doesn't prevent high quality work, slows it down a tiny bit
Lowest - the inconvenience of this one not working seems to be very minimal

Still a bug for me. ctrl+end in <Sample document control_end.odt> jumps to the footer, but no further. Sometimes confusing an my own documents as you start adding text to what you thought was the end of the document but is somewhere else. Seems to be when there is a section break.
