In old versions of LibreOffice I have used (one of which I had been forced to update from recently due to unsolvable issues leading to loss of functionality), when moving vertically using my arrow keys, it would move from where your typing began, which in general made navigation and fixing of typos extremely easy and fast.
Now, after the aforementioned update, it instead moves from where your cursor ended, in the same way that, for instance, Notepad, does. It is hard to quite explain what I mean, so I will attempt to demonstrate. For the purpose of this, ‘>’ symbolizes where I begin typing, ‘^’ symbolizes the path the vertical arrows take, and ‘|’ symbolizes where the cursor is/ends up.
What I am trying to get happen:
- Field A:|Text
- …^
- Field B:>Text|
What is currently happening:
- Field A: Text|
- …^
- Field B:>Text|
Any help would be appreciated in figuring out exactly how I go back to my preferred method
[EDIT for useful information: I have updated from 7.0.6 or 7.0.5, to 7.1.2 and my OS is Windows 10. The issue I was encountering in 7.0.6 seemed to be a localization-based bug/issue, so this seems unrelated.]
EDIT for the steps suggested: I have deactivated Skia, which seemed to have no effect, and then reactivate it with the same lack of effect. What two of the threads linked by LeroyG seem to be have been trying to deactivate sounds like what I’m currently trying to activate. I further find an issue with my user profile unlikely, as I had deleted said user profile in an attempt to troubleshoot the previous issues (before my update) to no effect.
