![]() ![]() Regarding other proposed solutions, including particularly anything involving changes to user data or document properties, I want to emphasize that I did nothing except enable my ‘F’ keys and press Shift+F5. For whatever reason, at some point LibreOffice Writer stopped remembering the last cursor position when a document was saved. ![]() When I finally got around to confirming that thesis, however, i not only found that was not the case for the cursor position specifically, I ended up reading many of the same frustrated messages that you probably read before finding your way here. In doing so the version of LibreOffice Writer that was installed with 19.3 - which I believe was version 6.x, but may have been even earlier - was replaced with the version that currently installs with Mint Cinnamon 21.1, meaning specifically Writer version 7.3.7.2.Īfter that update I did notice the irritating change in behavior, but because I had not been doing much document creation or editing I naively assumed that it was the result of some new function that had previously been default. I did not have this problem with LibreOffice until two months ago, when I undated Linux Mint Cinnamon from 19.3 to 21.1. If you try this solution yourself - turning on the ‘F’ keys (which may also turn on an indicator light on your keyboard), then pressing Shift+F5 - I would like to know whether it does or does not work, and which version of LibreOffice you are using. If I do that - effectively turning on the ‘F’ keys on my keyboard - then Shift+F5 does indeed move the cursor and document view to the last saved position. ![]() ![]() Like many keyboards, however, my keyboard requires that I press what is literally labeled the ‘F-Lock’ key to enable the functionality of the ‘F’ keys. When I press Shift+F5 on my keyboard as configured by default, that solution does not work. You may also have tried that solution and found it did not work, or read responses from others indicating that Shift+F5 does not move the document view to the last saved cursor position. If you have searched for relief you may have come across a variety of proposed remedies, including claims that the last cursor position can be recovered by pressing the Shift+F5 key combination. If you use the free, open-source word-processing program LibreOffice Writer, and have discovered that the program does not save the last cursor position when you close a document, I can confirm that noxious behavior. ![]()
