Created attachment 63204 [details] Sample ODT document to test cursor position When opening a sample file to demonstrate that LibreOffice jumps to the last edit position, I noticed version 3.6.0 (Build ID: 70ed7be) places the cursor one line ahead of any other LibreOffice or OpenOffice version. The attached document opens in page 3, line 115 on any version of LO or OO except 3.6 To test this leave all user data blank and just fill First and last name with First and Last and then open the sample document. In LO 3.6.0 the cursor is positioned in line 116
Hi Pedro! Beta 3 seems to be okay...
Hi Florian I'm afraid not. Still opens in line 116 under Windows XP using Version 3.6.0.0.beta3 (Build ID: 3e2b862)
I still see these smaller differences (I will have to check whether it's always "one line ahead") between "LibreOffice 3.6.5.2 " German UI/ German Locale [Build-ID: 5b93205] {pull date 2013-01-18} on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) in documents closed with 3.5.7.2. Not a big thing, but strange!
@Pedro maybe I did not understand the steps to reproduce... if I open the test file on 3.6.0.4 and 4.1.1.2 (Win7 64bit) the file shows up with cursor positioned on page 1, line 1.

how do I change user data? the test document is some kind of lorem ipsum dummy text.
(In reply to comment #6) > how do I change user data? the test document is some kind of lorem ipsum > dummy text. The User Data in LO is under Tools, Options, LibreOffice, User Data The instructions are to fill the first two fields in First/Last name/Initials with the word First on the first field and Last on the second field For more information on the importance of filling User Data see http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/1144/how-to-save-cursor-position-in-writer/
@Pedro I did not know that option. tested under Win7 64bit. 3.5.7 opens cursor at line 115 4.0.5 and 4.1.1 open cursor at line 116
Changed user data like requested. On Windows, the view jumped to a position that showed 105.. I didn't see the cursor, I pressed down key and found myself on page 5, 220. On Ubuntu, it jumped to page 3, line 116.
