Sorry to the Authors group for the cross post.
I do not know what the over all feeling on this issue is amongst the OOo community, but I am very sad about the lack of the OOo 2.0 to remember my cursor position when I open.
This is the new expected behavior. :(
There has been a long line of debate and discussion here about this topic, and right now I am not here to debate its merits or is pitfalls. I am just trying to advertise that those people, and there were many, that would like to see the old behavior back, have a place to voice that opinion and vote.
The "rational" for the change explained here <http://specs.openoffice.org/appwide/open_doc_behavior/OpenDocumentBehavior.sxw>
I have been working with this issue for some time now, and I know there are many who support this feature that exists in 1.1.x and some that want it removed just because OOo has too many features (not my words.)
After some discussion with some people I have file issue #43146. <http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=43146>. If you would like to see this behavior returned to Writer sometime in the near future (I am told this is IMPOSSIBLE for v2) please vote and comment for it.
I know as editors of documents this feature is probably very useful for most of us. I know I appreciate it without even knowing it is there.
Some of you may say, "Well in Word it doesn't remember, but if I press a shortcut it jumps to where I was last time."
This would be an acceptable solution, I suppose, but it was not implemented in 2.0 (at least not yet) even though the spec says it should.
Please see issue # 39486 <http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=39486>.
This has been requested.
Thank you for your time.
You have my vote on this one. I'd get on my soapbox over stupid features designed to copy Word... but I won't I'll just vote and encourage as many people as I can to do the same.
Cheers Yo
