------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Mar 5 14:51:52 +0000 2008 ------- I am a professional writer with several books to my name under major imprints. Have also written for major tech publications and many of the top tech vendors. I use OpenOffice exclusively, and I know other professional writers who have or are making the switch. OpenOffice is that good. However, I have to say this "page leaping" problem is the single most annoying habit of the program. It's also a productivity impediment. When editing large documents, it's nearly impossible to manage formatting and keep your context. The human brain gets confused when the page leaps up, and the text your were working on suddenly disappears. It wouldn't be so bad if the page lept up or down consistently and logically, but it doesn't. You lose the insertion point. It's a mess. As a former developer, I can say with confidence there is no technical reason why page scrolling should not +always+ be smooth, regardless of the application's "mode." This is a bug, not a feature. Competitively speaking, every other text editor and word processor on the market today is capable of moving text up or down one line at a time, including when crossing page breaks. This is a bug that should be fixed, and could be fixed with a few minutes attention. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
