Microsoft 365 and Office | Word | For home | Windows
A family of Microsoft word processing software products for creating web, email, and print documents.
I have now reported this to the CEO satyan@microsoft.com
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.

2021-06-20T17:26:44+00:00 Also a professional editor here, often working with huge documents. I have Word 365 on my Win10 desktop (wired mouse, wired keyboard) and on my Win10 laptop. Various keystrokes (usually CTRL-arrows) on both machines have been triggering random jumps throughout the document and it is driving me INSAAANE! It happens several times an hour and it's seriously affecting my work. And I'm actually paying for this software! >:-(
FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!!!

Version 16.49 is Office for Mac, I believe. I recommend that you start a separate thread.

2021-06-15T19:50:11+00:00 This is an infuriating new bug in Word, and requires a fix. When deleting a paragraph or paragraph marker while working in Track Changes, the cursor jumps to the end of the document. When I find my way back to the place I was jumped from, often a paragraph or more has disappeared—it's not gone, it is just invisible. This doesn't seem to be affected by where on the page the paragraph is.
It is the same in Simple Markup or All Markup. The only fix I've found is to close and reopen the document, but that takes time and my hours are seriously beginning to suffer. Please address this problem!

Which version of Word are you running? Are you displaying the document in Print Layout view or some other view?
