Reproduced in Windows 7, even with 3.3.0 version.

Reducing importance, since it doesn't affect ability to do high quality work.

The issue here is:

Behind the fact that the view jumps or does not jump, the caret is moving to the text line where the user does the right click with the mouse (or to the last line of the page if the user clicks in an area where no text lines are available).

If the whole page is filled with paragraphs and the caret (blinking text cursor) is on a part of the page that is out of the current view, then a context menu appears and the view isn't jumping. But the caret is moving to the line where the user does the right click.

If the last text lines is somewhere in the page (or there is only a single line at the top of the page) and the user scrolls down so that the caret isn't in the view anymore, then a right-click make the view jumping towards the last text line. The caret isn't visible then due to the open context menu. But you can see the caret if clicking on the title bar of the Writer window. then you can see that the caret also has jumped to the last text line together with the view.)

Is this again a duplicate of bug 49259?

I assume it's related but not a duplicate. The mentioned bug is for right-clicking on objects and following view jumps. This is for right-clicking to "nothing" and following view jumpgs.

True, but both jump to cursor. As the image is attached to first paragraph etc..
But of course.. there is a possibility that's defined by different area in the code

Dear fiftyigfuci_f_mi,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
