--- Comment #9 from Paul <[email protected]> ---
I am stumped. As we discussed, I removed LibreOffice with a program called Revo
Uninstaller. As part of that process, Revo removed Registry as well as remnant
files.

I then did a hard restart on my computer. And ran some basic Windows OS and
virus scans; all clear.

Next I went to LibreOffice.org and downloaded, then installed the latest
version.

As you suggested, I opened the program and then restarted LO in Safe Mode with
no changes or alterations of any kind, other than opening Navigation.

I opened my original file and edited a few random footnotes. Each time, after
one to two keystrokes, the Navigator returned me to footnote #1.

Next, to see if my file had been corrupted in some way, I created a new Writer
Document - strictly gibberish, but with several footnotes. I had the same issue
in the brand new document. As I scrolled down to a footnote and double clicked,
I went to the proper location. Upon moving to the actual footnote just one or
two (yes, consistently one or two, never more) keystrokes and the Navigator
returned to note 1.

I may have said this before, but the work I am doing is not critical. I am
retired and do some writing in my leisure. I can live with my problem but will
almost certainly roll my eyes and sigh in exasperation as I'm editing a few
dozen footnotes.

If you wish to retain this potential issue for comparison to future incidents,
I can also tell you a little of my platform and OS.

My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 15 5000 and is running the latest version, last
checked 12/28/24, of Windows 11. I do not share files, nor collaborate with
others on this computer. I do run Avast security every week and it has never
reported a virus or other issues.

I do have many files that were originally from the Microsoft Office family. As
I open them, I always save the changes in LibreOffice preferred format. To
reiterate, The new, test document I created was done solely with LibreOffice.

Again, thank you.

Paul
