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.

    Changing the markup has not helped me at all. Changing to Show ¶ seems to slow down the next bump-out, but it is not reliable—and we shouldn't have to do these ridiculous work-arounds! As various other people have said, we're paying for this software to work.

    Unfortunately, I need to work in All Markup mode way too often.

    As an editor myself, I wholeheartedly agree it's a time waster. Thanks for emailing the CEO.
