Cursor jumps to the end of the document when deleting a line in Word and have Track Changes enabled (Word for Windows)

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.

    I had success with selecting the entire text apart from the final pilcrow (paragraph mark), copying it and pasting it into a new document.

    Thank you -- I've now used the feedback form. I am going to check to see if the professional org I belong to (CIEP) has raised it with MS. I can see some familiar names in this thread, and I wonder if we can amplify our voices by speaking as one.

    Chris, that would be most helpful. I had a call from someone yesterday who wanted to take control of my laptop and I told him this was not MY problem but a global one and their techies needed to solve the problem asap for everyone. I did not let him take control of my laptop
