Created attachment 68079 [details] Sample document with frames When you copy and paste a frame in Writer, the cursor often jumps to the beginning (and sometimes the end) of the document. This does not happen every time, even in the same document, so the behaviour is not 100% reproducible. I include an attachment where Writer jumps to the beginning of the document after pasting a few frames or undoing a paste. Steps to reproduce: (1) Open LO_paste_frame.odt and go to Chapter "Copy and paste a frame!". (2) Mark the first frame of the chapter "(( copy this frame and paste it ))". (3a) Copy the frame via Ctrl-C and insert it from the clipboard via Ctrl-V a few times on the same or following page. (3b) Or: Insert it via Ctrl-V and undo the insertion via Ctrl-Z. When I copy and paste the frame, it takes about 5-10 tries until Writer jumps to the beginning of the document. When I undo an insert, it always does. Tested with LibreOffice version 3.5.4.2, but the bug has been present in OpenOffice/LibreOffice for some years.
Created attachment 69116 [details] jump.odt: another sample document to confirm the bug Go to p. 7 of the document and anchor the frame in the top right margin "to paragraph" instead of "to charatcer". LO jumps to the last page of the document. Tested with LO 3.5.4.2 and LO 3.6.2.2 under Ubuntu 12.04.
Checked with: LO 4.0.2.2 Build ID: own W7 debug build Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit (In reply to comment #0) > When you copy and paste a frame in Writer, the cursor often jumps to the > beginning (and sometimes the end) of the document. > This does not happen every time Tried few times and could not reproduce. > When I undo an insert, it always does. Confirmed - it jumps to the beginning and sometimes to the end of document.
Thank you for reporting this issue! I have been able to confirm the issue on: Version: 4.2.0.0.alpha0+Build ID: b0a1666f756aa5f5315366eca9d7d02ddd55d2b Date: Tue May 28 08:51:01 2013 +0300 Platform: Bodhi Linux 2.2 x64 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + As I've been able to confirm this problem I am marking as: New (confirmed) Minor - doesn't prevent high quality work but can slow it down High - common feature to anchor an object to paragraph - the jump is quite annoying + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + LibreOffice is powered by a team of volunteers, every bug is confirmed (triaged) by human beings who mostly give their time for free.

Lastly, good bug reports help tremendously in making the process go smoother, please always provide reproducible steps (even if it seems easy) and attach any and all relevant material
I confirm this (or at least a very similar) effect: Often if I cut/paste an (embedded) image to a different position in a document using Ctrl+X/V, LO jumps to the last page. In a document with 100+ pages this is more than annoying. Confirmed on Win7 64 Bit with LO 3.6.7.2. I am marking this as "All Platforms", as it is obviously not restricted to Linux.
(Also happens with copy/paste, not only cut/paste.)

LO 4.4.2.2, WinXP - no problems with cut/copy and paste frames or with changing the anchor. But when a paste is "undone" (i.e., Ctrl-Z), then the cursor jumps to the top of the file (as reported in the original bug).

Undoing a copied frame (e.g., with Ctrl-Z) still results in the cursor jumping to the head of the file. (No problems with making multiple copies of a frame with Ctrl-V). No problems with changing anchors (see comment 1) Have changed title to better reflect the bug.
