The problem seems to be more general. Use your mouse wheel or scrollbars to
scroll to a position where the text cursor is not visible any more.
Additional examples that let the visible section jump back to the text cursor
are:
- Press a cursor key (arrow)
- Press a character key
- unselect a graphical element
If you are just proofreading a text and press an arrow key (or if you're doing
anything else that has nothing to do with the cursor position, like saving, as
described by rpeckhoff), this behavior is confusing.
The same applies to working with graphics. Often I use a magnified view, so the
cursor is out of sight. As soon as you unselect a graphical element using
Escape, the visible section jumps back to the cursor in the text and you have to
search the correct section again.
Word, for instance, acts more intuitively: If you hit an arrow key, the cursor
is set to the lowest or highest line of the currently visible text, depending on
the arrow key you hit (if the arrow down is hit, the cursor is set to the lowest
line, if you hit the arrow up, the cursor is set to the top line). If the
document is saved, nothing is changed. Same for unselecting graphical elements.
If you continue typing, though, the cursor is not moved and Word moves the
visible text section to the cursor position, which is intuitive again.
It would be worth thinking about different actions in Writer (as saving, hitting
arrow keys etc.) and their most reasonable effect on the cursor and/or the
position of the visible text section. The current situation is not satisfactory
at all.
Thanks,
Simon
