Cursor position lost every time file is closed in 5.4.1

#1

This used to be an occsaional problem with 5.3, usually just the first
few times I opened a file.

Now it seems that every time I open a document, new or one I've been
editing for a long time, it never remembers the cursor position and
always comes up at the head of the file.

Is this a feature change or is there a switch I need to set? I found
nothing in help.

Thanks.

to go to the end of document and read in continuation of your work.
hope that help, God bless you all!

LibreOffice Developers decided to join the User name in early 5.3 versions.
Then because this was breaking up features (such as resumed editing) they
have returned to two fields but the user name was left joined.

You need to go to Tools > Options > User Data and fix your Name to separate
fields (First, Last)

Hope this helps.

Thanks Pedro.
I knew this had come up before but I could not remember the details.

Yes, greatly, thanks. It seems it was slightly worse - all the user
data was blanked out in the file(s).
