Description: Switching between single page view and multiple page view remains at the page you are on but when you select book view or page preview it goes to what seems to be a random page. The same happens when in book view and you go to single or multiple page view. Also, when you exit page preview it would be nice if within the document it exits at the page you are at. Instead, it seems to go to a random page just as when switching views in the top paragraph. I am working with a 1,600-page document and it makes it very clumsy to work with. Actual Results: You just have to switch page views in the bottom status bar. Expected Results: It goes to random pages. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: It has been occurring for as long as I have been using Writer - a couple of years. So, it has been in all the versions.

@Jim, any hints to make this easy-hackable?
(In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #2) > @Jim, any hints to make this easy-hackable? If we want to make the page the cursor is on be a visible page in the view when the modes are switched I would investigate the removal of LockView and as an aside LockPaint in the SwView::SetViewLayout function[1].
