Two things: - Switching from "Print layout" to "Web layout" causes document to scroll to top. That is the worst part. - Switcing from "Web layout" to "Print layout" scrolls document some paragraphs backwards. In R/W mode, pressing Up/Down keys sends the view back - cursor position is OK, it's just the view which is scrolled elsewhere after the switch. In R/O mode, pressing Up/Down doesn't help, as they work as scroll up/scroll down, they do not control cursor position. Rather annoying, when one tries to quickly verify how the just typed place in document looks in "Page layout".
Oh. Forgot the usual "expected behavior." Expected behavior. When switching document viewing layout, in R/O mode, LO should anchor the view to the first visible line (or character). When switching document viewing layout, in R/W mode, LO should attempt to maintain the vertical distance from the cursor to the top of the frame. If cursor is off-screen, then behavior similar to R/O mode is desired. Cursor position shouldn't be affected (as it is now) by the switch. wbr, thanks in advance.
Failed to reproduce on LibreOffice 3.4 340m1(Build:103) for OpenSuse Linux. Opened a text document with several paragraphs, switched between Print and Web layout without any major jumps.
If that has any influence: I'm using the version from PortableApps (I do not have permissions to install software on office PC.) I have just retested with freshly released portable v3.4.2, and the issue persists. I have tested LoWriter with both documents converted from WinWord's rtf and native odt document. Just to exclude side-effects of the conversion. Can anybody test it with properly installed LO on Windows? Might lack of JRE installed have any influence on the issue? (I do have JRE - but the version 1.5, which is still the standard in my company. Forums say that LO requires newer Java 6.) Extra info. OS is WinXP SP3 32bit, M$Office 2007 is installed too.
Windows 7, 64-bit, LibreOffice 3.4.2, OOO340m1 (Build:203) (properly installed, not portable edition) - same behavior as in open note. (This is at home. Again, Java isn't installed. If that matters.) Ubuntu 11.04, 64-bit, LibreOffice 3.3.3, OOO330m19 (Build:301), "tag libreoffice-3.3.3.1, Ubuntu package 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2" - same behavior as in open note. (This is default, not heavily customized Ubuntu installation.) How I reproduce the problem: 1. In Writer, press ^N to open a new document. By default it shows the new document in "Print layout". 2. Using copy-paste, fill 4+ pages with test text (e.g. "Test"). 3. On 3rd page, mark one line with some unique text (e.g. "Test 123456") and leave cursor at the line. 4. Select from "View" menu the "Web layout". Result: First page is shown. Expected: The unique string is still on screen after switch.

3.5.0b2, Windows x86, the issue is still present. Changing status to NEW as per the spambot instructions. P.S. Here I found it: I had x64 version installed on my W7 system. "About" window doesn't tell the bit-ness of the version used. Will file a separate ticket to that.
the first part (scroll to top) is for me reproducible with LO 4.0.2.2 (Win7 Home, 64bit), but the second one not
