Description Vladislav Ivanishtshev 2008-10-04 19:17:24 UTC
Just mentioned, when editing large text the view position is often spontaneously shifted to the start of the page (up) when I use arrows to navigate the cursor position.
Similarly it is impossible to edit long code row, because cursor view is shifted to the left.

I'm using 10.1pre4 on 32-bit Windows XP. I'm encountering very strange behaviour when attempting to move in the document with the down-arrow key in the WYSIWYG view. This may be triggered by the presence of an SVG object at the top of the document. I've uploaded a sample document to

http://smithies.org/cpks/test/nl4.html

- when I click on the "TBA" in the rightmost column of the first table, repeated down-arrows seem to go circularly through the lines of the next section, and then back again.

If the cursor is located in the paragraph following "Ringing Roadshow", down-arrow causes the scrollbar to move strangely, the cursor disappears and it's difficult to recover cursor navigation.

Good luck to the team in tracking this one down!

10.1 pre5 is a radical improvement. The sick lurching of the display is gone. Congratulations! (The remaining oddity, that the down-arrow key cycles bizarrely when located in a table, is a quite minor issue.)

I didn't use SVG objects, but when using tables the cursor is stuck to low cells.
From my point of view it is really annoying.
