Just a comment to rollom's addition.

Saving shouldn't change the view, right. For the arrow key see below.

I tend to agree here. There is no reason to jump to the cursor position.

I'm not sure if that really is "more intuitively". But OTOH I don't deny it.
Perhaps this is something we should think about. Thanks for pointing this out.

How is that different to Writer? Maybe I misunderstand what you have written but
to me it looks as the same what Writer does.

Thinking is always a good idea. :-)
Thanks for your comments.
Matthias, would you like to comment on that?
As Frank already pointed out, changing the view after saving looks like a
defect. I also think that keeping the view when an object is deselected would be
a good enhancement. I'm in doubt about the cursor movements.
