Description timhabermann 2003-09-18 23:42:54 UTC 
When editing a document in writer and autosave kicks in the document loses its
focus _if_ additional windows like the ones for background colors etc. are open
at the same time. 
Not only do you lose what you input while writer is (auto) saving (this is
another issue already raised) but you also need to reposition the cursor in the doc.

Not serious but annoying.

I can not confirm this in Windows.

Make sure that Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > Views > Restore Editing Views
is checked.

Please comment if this is still an issue.

Newest OOo versions don't have the AutoSave feature furthermore. In place of
this there is AutoRecovery without the described problem.
Comment 5 mroe 2008-11-25 16:15:58 UTC 
Closed.
Feel free to reopen this issue if the problem appears reproducible with
AutoRecovery.
Comment 6 java4242 2009-12-03 06:18:15 UTC 
Please reopen this issue for 3.1.1. Similar problem appears with AutoRecovery.
When you read the document by scrolling and without repositioning the cursor -
after the auto recovery save is finished the focus is returned to the cursor
position, not to the scrolled screen position.
