Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 48510
jump to cursor at save and autosave
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
When you save or autosave kicks in the refresh after save jumps to where the cursor is. If you've just opened a large document (60+ pages in my case) and are just checking through it when autosave saves the doc you will be sent to where the cursor is which is often right at the start, at which point you have to trawl through you document trying to find where you were. I think the program should really remember what you're viewing not just where the cursor is. This is very annoying in very large documents. I wasn't sure which sub-component to put this in, I've dropped it in UI for now. Chris.
i think this is a duplicate but somehow i didn't find the corresponding issue

->maxweber: do you mean a duplicate of issue 47364 or issue 43146 (just to add to your bookmarks ;) )? If yes, I don't think it's a duplicate because here it's not about loading a document but saving it (so we also should consider this cursor behavior when fixing the mentioned issues BUT it's not the same problem) ->chriscuk2: anyway, I cannot reproduce what you describe. The view remains the same while saving even if the cursor is set at a position out of the view. ->maxweber (again): can you confirm/deny this?

I've just tried it with a short new document and the problem does not seem to exist over 3 or 4 pages, but if I open a large document (82 pages, lots of pictures, tables and graphs) then the problem is still apparent. Maybe it's the document size or objects that cause it but it may take some research to find out? chriscuk2
Please attach a sample document.
Sorry! I just found out that an issue already exists on this. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 44228 ***
