A moving with paragraphs is set to ctrl+alt+<arrow up/down>. It was associated with Alt+<arrow up/down> in previous versions 2.x.

Rinu, is this an issue for you in LibreOffice? If using Lucid or Maverick feel free to type at the Terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo apt-get -y install libreoffice-writer
