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'm having the same problem and it's driving me batty. I edit with Track Changes turned on but all edits hidden, and it happens frequently when I delete something, although I can't find any meaningful pattern beyond that.

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

    I've found that's not a full fix. BUT - this problem seems to have gone away, I haven't had it for 3-4 weeks now. Anyone else?

    I'm afraid to say it, but I haven't had the problem for about a week or two . . .
