Good morning
I am using OO32, the machine(s) I am currently working with run Win XP.

Whenever I scroll down the screen (or just typing something in existing
text does the same) and I come to the bottom of the screen, the cursor
"jumps" between 7-9 lines (I counted them) down. This happens both in
page and web view.
This DOES NOT happen in Calc. There you get one row at a time.

So, every time Writer jumps to a new location, I have to reorient myself
and find the last location I have been looking at.
Since this happens VERY often in my work, this is also VERY tyring.
I am sure many people are just happy with this behavior, but for me this
is just disorientating.
(All musical scores have FIVE lines, because the number five can be
intuitavely and instantaneously processed by the human brain. With 7 or
8 that does not work any longer.)

Question:
IS there a way to change this behavior?
I have looked, but could not find anything.
Hi Thomas,

I agree, this problem would be very annoying but I have never had this problem.

Are you using the default page settings? And the default styles?

If you want to attach the page you are having problems with I can check it for you.

I have set a font and the margins as my "personal style", but otherwise did not touch anything. Yet, this jump (instead of scroll) behavior happens with ALL documents on ALL my computers (just checked: it is the same on a PC running Ubuntu 10.04 / OO3.2).

The file I am working on now is work (= confidential), so I cannot send you that, but since ANY file will do, I will try to send you one privately later. Or can I attach a file here and send it to the list? The problem that makes the "jumpy behavior" most annoying is, that I often work on existing texts in one language, that I overwrite in the process of translating. That means the upper half of the screen may be in one language, while the lower half is in a different one. When the cursor jumps at the bottom, the top of the screen - at which I ALSO looking - disappears from view too ...
