------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Feb 19 10:56:45 -0800 2005 ------- I would like to have the option to have the cursor position remembered as OOo 1.1.x. I am filiing this because that is how I was told to proceed. This started with issue #41136. I was told that this behavior could not be changed by v2 release. Also I am told that this is the desired behavior (not remembering the cursor position.) Now, I understand other office apps don't have this option, but OOo did, and that is what helped make it great. Many people I know like this feature and I have talked to very few that don't. Further more, having the option to restore cursor position (as in 1.1.x) makes everyone happy. If you read the spec file, (is that what it is called?) which I have provided the url to in the url box above, you will see scenario involving two people that share a document. The rational for making this change in OOo was that Mary might might think Peter is lazy for not moving the cursor back to the top of the document when he is done editing if she opens it and the cursor is in the middle. There are two *fundamental* issues with this scenario: 1) It doesn't address the need of Peter, per se. Perhaps he is editing a 150 page document and has to do it chunks and isn't able to remember where he left off. Perhaps he is editing several large documents, and he relies on the program remembering where the cursor was to do his job. He is now SOL. 2) The scenario presented was solved for in 1.1.x. Mary could unclick the /restore editing view/ option in her version of OOo and Peter could leave it checked. Wow, wouldn't that be nice, the best of both worlds! Now we have an OOo that only opens at the top with no shortcut to jump to the last cursor position. Not a good alternative. I urge whoever makes this decision to change the behavior back as as possible in whatever version it can be done in. Thank you for your time. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
