            Bug ID: 129020
           Summary: using track changes, with changes hidden, cursor
                    precedes rather than follows typed character
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.3.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: mousebot at riseup.net

Description:
on debian gnu/linux, up to date libre office (Version: 6.3.3.2.0+, from buster
backports)

when using track changes, with 'show' option unchecked, so that changes are not
visible, sometimes when i type a character, the cursor is forced to the left of
what i type, and stays there. this has the effect freezing the cursor in place,
because it is normally moved to the right by what you type.

its only occasional, and i don't know if there is any specific (formatting,
etc) situation in which it occurs. i'm not working with tables or anything
fancy, just plain text processing in main body of the page. document is long
thought (20 000 + words).

sorry if already reported, its tricky to search for what someone else might
call this phenomenon.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.open large file
2. enable track changes, uncheck 'show'
3. move around editing/adding text


Actual Results:
 cursor stays in one place, newly typed text is inserted after cursor.

Expected Results:
cursor shd follow not precede newly inserted text. 


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: No
