I have used Libreoffice successfully for a while, but one document is giving me trouble.
Page 1 is fine, but the following 50 have a grey background behind each paragraph.
I can add text as normal, but if I use the backspace or delete keys from page 3 onwards, they perform their function, but then the cursor jumps to the end of page 1 and types 5 ‘degree’ characters.
ctrl-Z twice undoes the weird and annoying behaviour.
I understand that the grey background usually identifies a field and choosing ‘Hide field shading’ indeed removes the grey, but the delete-key behaviour continues, so it seems like I have a 50 page field. But using the field commands don’t show it to be one.
Page 2 is a TOC, so I thought that might have somehow connected itself to the following 50 pages, but removing that TOC doesn’t help either.
I’ve tried cutting and pasting into a new document, but the behaviour follows.
Any ideas on where to look for the problem ?
Mac OS X 15.7.3 (latest)
I enclose a file containing parts of the first 3 pages. (junk3)
