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.

    Nope, still having it on some documents. I wonder why Microsoft seems just to be ignoring the problem

    Same. It must be baked into older documents. And maybe even newer ones. I just experienced it again this week with a document new to me, but it's guaranteed to happen with files I worked with in the past six months or so. It's beyond belief the MS Word team would release this bug into the wild. Like, they use Word, right?

    Although, I am quite relieved it's not just me. I also am still having this problem in multiple documents. I kept looking for a hidden embedded code or link I was missing. It's very aggravating and hopefully it'll be fixed soon.

    It's very important you let MS know as the more complaints. You can do this via File / Feedback. Or this app at the link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/how-do-you-report-an-issue-or-bug-a318252f-cc24-4e95-bec9-71bd2dbc379d
