Title:
  [upstream] Autosave causes document to scroll back to cursor position

Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite:
  Confirmed
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openoffice.org

  If scrolling a document and using the autosave feature, the document
  will roll back to the cursor position in the document instead of
  staying where you currently are on the screen.

  I am scrolling my document but may have edited or place my cursor
  somewhere else in the document.  Autosave saves the document and
  immediately scrolls back to the cursor.

  This bug is rather annoying if you are editing a multipage document
  and scrolled several 10's  of pages forward only to have the
  application place you back to my cursor which may possibly be on page
  1.  I have on many occasions lost my place only to find it again and
  have autosave throw me back to the cursor.

  Workaround is to turn off autosave, but that runs a risk of losing
  possibly many hours of work if the application crashes or other
  reasons like a power failure.
