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

Report the issue to Microsoft via File > Feedback > Send a Frown.

I too change to "All Markup" when this happens, make the edits I need to, and then revert to "No Markup" or recently "Simple Markup," but that in itself is cumbersome. I'm tired of hitting Control Z to get back to where I had just been. I hope Microsoft is monitoring this.

Hi everyone

The 'Track Changes' issues are obviously causing very serious problems. Personally, it is driving me crazy. I'm considering re-installing Word.

Surely Microsoft know about this issue by now.

Do they access this forum?

Ahh, I see you've discovered that "Simple Markup" doesn't solve the problem. I'm an editor too, Martin, and when I'm working in "Tracked Changes" I work in Simple Markup all the time. That's when I came across this issue. I can prevent it (or stop it from happening again) by toggling to "All Markup" to make that change. Word performs as usual in "Simple Markup" for another wee while after that.

Having been paying more attention to the issue lately, it definitely happens when in the last or almost last line of a paragraph and you can anticipate it happening when you discover you can't click in the final line of the paragraph (as if that line isn't there). When I find that happening now, I switch to "All Markup", make all the edits I need to make in that paragraph, and switch back to "Simple Markup" to continue editing the document.

I'm and editor, and I've been having this issue, too. It is SOOO frustrating, and it's literally costing me money because it takes me so much longer to edit a manuscript now. 

Here's what I've been doing, and it helps, somewhat. 

I have to use track changes, but I like to work with 'no markup' so I can just read and edit, without the distraction of editing marks. But that view seems to make this issue horrible. So, I've been using 'All Markup,' but because it's customizable visa the dropdown menu, I hide all the changes. 

This reduced the number of times that it happens, but it still happens, unfortunately. 

This is obviously a track changes bug because I've tried everything to eliminate the issue. It happens in doc files and docx files. Sometimes, my paragraphs disappear, too. Or sometimes, I see double paragraphs where one paragraph is not indented but the next one is. When that happens, I save, close it out, and reopen the document, but again, it's time consuming. Time is Money, so this is horrible. I'm hoping Microsoft moderators are reading these forums and find a hotfix soon.
