Bug ID: 100667
Summary: auto save loses scroll position
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML,
like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.103 Safari/537.36
Build Identifier: LibreOffice 5.0.6.3
steps to recreate:
Expected:
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. settings: set autosave on at interval of n
2. use scroll wheel to scroll down any amount in a long document without
anchoring the cursor in the newly scrolled-down viewing position.
3. autosave does a document save and reverts the view to the cursor position.
Actual Results:
I lose my place, particularly when reviewing, editing, or proofreading
documents because the cursor position and the view position may be several
pages apart.
Expected Results:
Leave the view as is on autosave, disregarding the cursor position so that I do
not lose my place every n minutes where n=autosave interval.
partial workaround is to either anchor the cursor every time you scroll or
maybe use pg up and down instead. Page up and down seem to not be affected,
though not sure about that. neither of these is very helpful since for me
scrolling is the way I keep my place while proofing documents.
