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.

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

    Thank you so much for your advice! I have reported this and other problems that I have experienced with MICROSOFT WORD 365 using the feedback feature. You are most kind :)

    I think it's worth adding that this issue isn't only present in Office 365. In order to avoid the additional horrors of 'Modern Comments' (that's another story), I jumped ship from Word 365 to Word 2019. But the issue with jumping to the end of the document when using tracked changes is still there. Now I'm wondering if it's got something to do with a Windows Update.

    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.
