Bug ID: 147812
Summary: When an Undo only affects out-of-view content, scroll
there instead
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: needsUXEval
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice

One often performs certain actions in an LO Writer document, then navigates
elsewhere in the document (e.g. another page), so that the area where the
changes took place is not visible.
Currently, if one then undoes the action (e.g. Ctrl+Z or using the menus), the
document is scrolled to an appropriate position, and the action is undone. (I
am ignoring the case in which the action affected a large area which does not
fit in the window.)
That's not the only possible behavior. Various applications, upon being asked
to Undo in the scenario described above, only perform the scrolling / changing
of the viewport to the area surrounding the location of the last change; and
pressing Undo again actually undoes the action, this time without the need to
scroll.
I suggest that such behavior be adopted for LO as well. It is IMHO intuitive
enough; causes less 'surprises' of an Undo doing something different that what
the user was expecting; and has the added benefit of making it easier to review
the last change before going ahead and undoing it.
