Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
If scrolling a document and using the autosave feature, the document
will roll back to the cursor position in the document instead of staying
where you currently are on the screen.
I am scrolling my document but may have edited or place my cursor
somewhere else in the document. Autosave saves the document and
immediately scrolls back to the cursor.
This bug is rather annoying if you are editing a multipage document and
scrolled several 10's of pages forward only to have the application
place you back to my cursor which may possibly be on page 1. I have on
many occasions lost my place only to find it again and have autosave
throw me back to the cursor.
Workaround is to turn off autosave, but that runs a risk of losing
possibly many hours of work if the application crashes or other reasons
like a power failure.
