Bug ID: 92864
Summary: Autosave moving the view within a document
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.4.2.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Writer

Hi
I have found what is, IMO, a bug with LibreOffice Writer.
My version is 4.4.2.2 and Build ID 40m0(Build:2). My O/S is 64-bit Ubuntu
15.04, Linux kernel 3.19.0-21-generic. I cannot tell if the problem occurs
with other versions of LibreOffice and/or on other O/S'es.
The problem is pretty easy to describe and completely reproducible on my
system.
Let’s say I am editing a large document (it can be ODT or Word format). I make
some changes, and scroll to another part of that document (for example, 50+
pages away) preparing to make an edit, but not having clicked in the new
location. Then Writer decides it is time to autosave before I can click to set
the new insertion point. It autosaves and sends my view in the document back to
where the insertion point is, some 50+ pages away from the point I have so
carefully scrolled to.
I do not believe that autosave should do this, and I certainly cannot see any
way to mitigate the problem. Increasing the autosave time will lessen the
frequency but that is a trade-off against possible loss of more work if Writer
should crash/hang and be unable to recover.
Your thoughts?
