I work with a document some others has created. In the document Enter has been jused quite many times to create/start a new line. When I use Backspace or Delete to remove the line and tie the sentencens together and then add a space between the sentences, then the cursor jumps all the way to the end of the document. 

When a turn off Track Changes, then it does not happen. I would assume this to be an error/flaw i MS Word and wonder if it is a workaround for the issue or if it would be fixed. I need to have Track Changes enabled.

    The view is one example, yes. (Personally, I almost exclusively work in Print Layout view, so I tend not to see any issues that affect other views.)

    Anything else that is different (or the same)?

    I always work in print layout, if that's you mean?

    Are there other similarities or differences compared to the thread I linked to? For example, is the problem with a specific view?

    I reported a similar issue to the Office team in June. For a description of the specific symptoms, see https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_word-mso_win10-mso_o365b/word-screen-jumps-after-saving-in-web-layout-and/074b2ed2-aca5-49e9-9f78-2d6adf721935.

    If the steps to reproduce are different in your case, do post back with details.
