I am using some technical documents where pages are formatted as mirrored. Also in order to make possible to read more than one document while creating my document I need to keep the LibreOffice window small in order to see both documents together. In this case I use the View → Zoom → Optimal View. Unfortunately in such case the document is jumping left and right in the Writer window, depend of the paragraphs I am working with. Also by scrolling the multi page documents right pages are visualized normally but the left pages are visualized wrongly - some part of the text on the left part of the pages is not visible. This can be changed manually but after every right page the left page is presented the same wrong way. This way working with LibreOffice Writer with such documents soon becomes very boring and very uncomfortable. This bug is available in most past versions of LibreOffice including the current 5.2.6 Please possibly correct this behaviour because working with such documents is very difficult with LibreOffice Writer. I have created a screen cast movie showing this behaviour but it is 29.2 MiB hence it is not possible to attach it here.

No problem here. After inserting dummy content, I did 1. Format - Page - Page - Page layout: Mirrored 2. View - Zoom - Optimal View I even set the zoom % the same as you, 136. I tried scrolling with the mouse scrollwheel, keyboard and scrollbars. It seems you are using KDE like me. I don't know, what could be different on your system.

Created attachment 132041 [details] Demo template for mirror margins This is a demo template to use for checking the jumping left and right
I am using openSUSE Leap 42.2 KDE with LibreOffice downloaded from The Document Foundation. This jumping is visible mostly in Optimal View. I think some thing wrong happens with the paragraph styles because for some paragraphs it behaves normally but for other is jumping. For the video, I especially used some document where it happens frequently, but I found that some documents behave better in same conditions. Also as I see LibreOffice does not obey correctly the mirror margins. It starts correctly with the right page where the left margin is bigger and all next pages get positioned as it. Because of this some part from the left pages where right margin is bigger get invisible as is wrongly is positioned as the pages with bigger left margin. My opinion is that for mirror margins it need to behave differently - need always to position the part of the document between the margins, always to fit in the visible part of the LibreOffice working window. I have prepared some demo template for Writer. Please use it and paste in it some document with tables and different paragraphs. Then please zoom the document in Optimal View. Probably then you can see what I see here.
I can't reproduce it in Version: 5.4.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 4ba483beccc99d336d0e0bec47b5fd6823b16c16 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.8; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; Locale: ca-ES (ca_ES.UTF-8); Calc: group
I will try to prepare some demo document and upload it next weekend. Hopefully it may help us to understood what happens in this case.
