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.

    Yeah, I think we all have been doing that. Over and over again. Along with complaining about the FIND function that doesn't always work >:-(

    It's very important that people go to File on their Word Ribbon, then Feedback, and leave feedback. They get enough feedback they will take notice.

    To add to what Suzanne has said, two "variations" on the bug have been reported.

    FWIW, this has been reported to the Word team. The response was "We have seen user feedback on this issue and actively investigating." This doesn't explicitly say that a bug has been opened, but sending feedback on the issue using the built-in Send Feedback mechanism is clearly helpful if they're waiting to get a specific number of complaints before acting.

    Bill Gates has got nothing to do with Microsoft any more. The CEO (since 2014) is Satya Nadella.
