--- Comment #11 from Bruce Dickson <[email protected]> ---
Appreciation to all who work on LibreOffice.  I'm glad I donate. 

Yes screen jumps up and down 8 lines in Writer in every version of Open Office
and Libre Office I've tried.  I just uninstalled and reinstalled LibreOffice
Still.  Now it's jumping again. 

Happens when document is just sitting displayed and live, without me touching
anything.  

Has happened to me repeatedly-intermittently on both PC and Mac systems since
2001. 

Happens primarily on documents over 50 pages. 

Therefore pretty major--but may be a formatting issue.  See below. 

My investigation suggests screen jumping in writer is highly connected to old
formatting when old Word 2003 and 2008 are brought into LibreOffice.

I've published 20 books, updating them often.  So the bug may be to determine
what old formatting from earlier OO and Libreoffice docs is "indigestible" in
later versions.  

The vertical jumping I think is the system trying to respond to one or more of
these formatting from earlier word processing software:

- headers-footer 
- table of contents
- artifacts from old Heading 1 and Heading 2 formats

Even with this awareness, and stripping old docs back to text only and big use
of "Clear formatting", I cannot guarantee screen jumping won't come back.  

So I am frustrated like the other posters.  The skeptics of this bug are
apparently ignoring the parameter of LONGER DOCUMENTS.  I can't recall this bug
on documents, under 50 pages.
