Description Ola Smith 2019-03-17 21:49:20 UTC 
Description:
While entering text in a .odt I may want to scroll away to look something up somewhere else in the document. Now and then the document is backed up (an excellent feature!). But after the backup the view of the document immediately returns to the text entry point, and I have to restart my search. 
The autonomuous backup as backgroud feature should not interfere with my working with the document. 
(I do not think that a "Hey! Remember! Your supposed to enter text here" is the intended feature ;-)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Scroll away from your text entry point
2. Wait for autonomuous backup
3. 

Actual Results:
Document view returns to text entry point

Expected Results:
The document freezes during backup, but my document view remains the same 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Thank you for reporting the bug.
it seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice.
Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice
from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ?
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to
'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.

I could not reproduce the error in version 6.0.7.3. (Kubuntu 18-04)
I guess it disappeared when recovery after systerm restart became automatic.
So: "RESOLVED"
