Description: When applying an intended action (ie change paragraph property), Writer adds non-intended behavior (ie moves the current view to the end of the file). This makes it quite annoying, especially when working with several pages-long files because you have to manually search wherever you were writing/reading to come back to the same document location you were at before applying the change. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open/create a file with at least 2 pages of any text 2. Place your cursor at any point except the end of the file (eg at the begining of the 1st page). 3. Select all text 3. Change the "blow paragraph spacing" to any number Actual Results: Writer applies the change but jumps to the end of the file. Expected Results: Writer applies the change without changing the location of the current cursor or view.

Dear J22Gim, 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 http://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 Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.freenode.net/#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Hi, I can confirm that the original description applies exactly the same to my current version (6.4.0.3) I just tried: open a document with several pages of text. Place the cursor somewhere in the 1st page. Then CTRL-A to select all text and apply any format (eg paragraph align). Writer applies the format and automatically jumps to the end of the text (ie last page). So, the bug is still present.

Same behavior. Apparently the problem is that LO does not remember the location of the cursor at the moment of select-all action. Also apparently the select-all action selects from the top of the document to the end of it. Thus the "cursor location" is at the end of the document, and that is where you go after making the change (eg increase the after-paragraph space). This can be confirmed if you go to the end of the document, select all the text using CTRL+SHIFT+HOME (ie, you're selecting from the bottom to the top), then the "cursor location" seems to be set at the top of the document, and now if you make the change the cursor does NOT jump to the bottom of the document, it stays at the top. So in the problem is the combination of these 2 things: 1) when you select-all (CTRL+A) Writer selects *from top to bottom*, and somehow leaves the cursor at the bottom. 2) in addition, Writer does NOT remember where the cursor was located when you pressed CTRL+A Thus, after applying the requested change (eg post-paragraph space), the *document view* jumps (not the cursor) to the end of the document.
