Hi Christopher

I installed libre office and it still seems to be doing the same
thing. I have had this problem since ubuntu 8.10

I have attached screenshots of the error and how to duplicate it. I
have also added the images to photobucket in case you cant access
them.

example 1

1.1: I type a sentence almost to the end of the line

1.2: I then press space until the cursor gets to the very end
http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac138/ave3/Screenshot12.jpg

1.3: press space once more and the cursor jumps back to the end of the
last word. If I press space 50x it will just stay here without moving.

example 2

2.1: I type past the first line.

       I then place the cursor at the end of the first line and press
space 10x- the cursor doesn't move.

2.2: a) I then insert an additional word (hello) midway through the
first sentence.
       b) only then does it insert the 10 spaces.

unfortunately my pc isnt connected to the internet, so when I run
apport-collect 71612 is says it cannot connect to launchpad- is there
another way I can do this manually. Sorry im clueless when it come to
this kind of thing.

regards
Brad
