I have just updated LO to Version V4.4.0.3. The bug with the Last Cursor position is still there.

History: Since update to LO Version V4.3.x I recognized the last Cursor position of any documents you save with the Writer App is NOT saved. Until V4.2.x all works fine and if you saved a document with cursor position lets say on line 5 on page 8, then the cursur stands exactly there after opening this document again. If I do it now with the actual version the cursor always stands in the position on line 1 on page 1.

I don't understand why this bug is still there. On 08/20/2014 I first documented this bug in this community!

The cursor position is saved for each user editing the document - if you don't have any user data identifying you, it cannot be saved against your name.

Insert your Name in Tools > Options > OO > User Data.

LO Version: 6.0.0.3: It's not working unfortunately

@linuxyz could you retry using LO 6.1.x? https://www.libreoffice.org/download/...

It is possible and working fine in LO Writer 6.1. Detailed guide is present below:

Yes, it works if, when you open a document, LO knows that you are the same user than the last one who edited this file. So you must set your name in the user data in your LO profile.
