I edit my document. The caret is a at specific position in the document. I scroll it via vertical scrollbar or via mouse wheel. So the caret doesn't move. It's normal. So, at this moment, i view the part of the document that I want to view. When I do save (File/Save or CTRL + S or click on icon), the document auto scroll to show the caret. It's painful, really painful, because i lose my concentration.
This was corrected target:5.3.0 target:5.2.0.1 for bug 95797 Verified that correction remains in place for current master/5.4.0.0alpha0+ and current 5.3.1 release. Still the residual issue of jump on save/autosave when edit cursor focus is in a table cell, bug 41063 So if working with Writer tables that is 41063, otherwise it is correct--no jump on save/autosave. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 95797 ***
