Description: When you scroll through a lengthy document, then make a change by clicking, for example, the Toggle Automatic Spell Checking, the page zips back to wherever the cursor was before you started scrolling (sometimes dozens of pages away from where you were), which means that if you cannot recall precisely where you were at in your scrolling through the document before you clicked, for example, the Toggle Automatic Spell Checking, you are at that point lost. It’s very annoying—not to mention causes you a lot of unnecessary work trying to figure out where you were in your scrolling process. The only “fix” being to remember to click somewhere in the page first, something that is foreign to other available word processors. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a lengthy Writer document 2. Deselect Toggle Automatic Spell Checking 3. Go to a page and place the cursor somewhere on that page 4. Scroll through the document many pages removed from the cursor position 5. Click on the Toggle Automatic Spell Checking icon Actual Results: Watch the document self-scroll to the page you had the cursor located before you started scrolling. Expected Results: The page should stay displayed at the point you stopped scrolling regardless of where the cursor was located before you started scrolling.

Are we talking about automatic spell checking or 'Spell Checking' (F7). F7 does have the tendency to jump to cursor Which really strange, IMHO [there plenty of these, some solved already]
(In reply to Telesto from comment #1) > Are we talking about automatic spell checking or 'Spell Checking' (F7). F7 > does have the tendency to jump to cursor > > Which really strange, IMHO [there plenty of these, some solved already] I was indicating Shift+F7, NOT F7. I just rechecked this issue and I could NOT get it to do what it was consistently doing last night (100% repeatable), although I cannot remember which specific document I was working on at the time (although it would be really weird if it only affected some LO Writer documents--not all such documents). It makes sense that F7 would do this I suppose, but not Shift+F7, but the point is moot if I cannot duplicate it this morning. It never occurred to me to check other Writer documents, for example those originating in Writer verses those that originated in Word or as webpage documents. I just tried a variety of all of those and could NOT get it to duplicate what I was seeing last night. I was really tired last night when I discovered and wrote up this issue, but I was not hallucinating.
Based on the last comment, let's close. If you still see this (with the latest version), you can set back to unconfirmed. In this case it would be best, if you attached an example document. You can sanitise the doc before attaching https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bugzilla/Sanitizing_Files_Before_Submission
