--- Comment #2 from fml2 <al...@gmx.de> --- For me, this a very unexpected behaviour. I do something in one area and a certain context and get thrown to a completely different context. This is not how I understand the principle of the least astonishment. > What happens when you fill the page with text, position the cursor near the > end > of a line and then apply the margin change? Depending on the resulting text, the h-scroll position changes so that the insertion mark is visible. This confirms your words "the edit focus has shifted the vcl canvas view to follow the edit cursor of an empty paragraph". But this is not what I'd expect. This changes the context too much. What if I missed the desired margin and want to correct it again? All of a sudden, I'm somewhere else and need some seconds to realize what just happened. My expectation would be that the visible part of the page does not change after working with the margin ruler -- even if the insertion mark gets out of view. After I move the insertion mark (by typing a letter or by moving it with the arrow keys), I'd expect the insetion mark to become visible because now the insertion mark is my mental focus. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
