Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 103396
Table modification, constant jittery motion
Last modified: 2009-07-09 12:01:48 UTC
I work with tables, alot, when I type in a table, and move away from the location of the blinking icon, in less than 3 - 4 seconds, the screen moves back to the location of the table. So if I was to copy something from a table, and move to another page, as soon as I stop to a second location, the document scrolls back, and starts to flash at the previous location. Is there a fix for this?
Not sure I understand your submission... "the blinking icon": do you mean the text cursor? "and starts to flash at the previous location": do you really mean "flash" or is it another synonym for "jumps back"? Please attach a sample document and a step by step description of what you do in the document to reproduce this problem.
Created attachment 63449 [details] A set of tables, detailing a set of aircraft components.
Sorry for not being explicitly clear. yes, blinking icon = text cursor if I was to start modifying a part of a table, for example at the top of page 1, and copied a row, and moved half way down page [where the original location is not seen on screen], as soon as I stop to another part of the same document, the program jumps back, to the original location, regardless of where I've wanted to scroll to, and highlights that part of the table. Almost behaves like MS Office.
I think it's a duplicate of issue 22453. Please also check what is set under "Tools - Options - OpenOffice.org - View - Middle mouse button". Maybe you set "Paste clipboard" and click erroneously in the middle of the scrolling movement. It would also explain this behavior. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 22453 ***
