Description rsking84 2010-09-23 04:38:49 UTC 
Using pageup/pagedown to navigate documents with large (half- or full-page)
charts, tables, or images is difficult.  The pageup/pagedown navigation behavior
is based on the position of the cursor within the text.  As such, using
pageup/pagedown in such documents can cause the view to skip over whole pages if
they do not contain text.

To reproduce in the test document:
Make sure your cursor is at the top
Press pagedown 3 times
Note that the view skips over the lower half of page 3 and the upper half of
page 4, because these pages do not contain text.

Comment 2 rsking84 2010-09-23 04:40:35 UTC 
While navigation with the ARROW KEYS should certainly be based on the position
of the text cursor, I would suggest that navigation with pageup/pagedown be
based on the current VIEW rather than the location of the cursor.   I believe
this method would provide more intuitive behavior for these keys.

Cannot reproduce what you describe.
Scrolling with PgDn/Up shows all the pages.
On the other hand, every word processcor / editor moves the cursor on PgDn/Up

Please detail and explain what happens with the charts.
Which operating system / version do you have?

I've tested this on two different machines running Windows 7 x64 and Ubuntu
10.04 x64, respectively, both with OO 3.2 (320m19)

The attached document has two pages that consist entirely of figures - p. 3 and
p. 4.  In my testing, using pagedown to navigate the document causes the view to
skip over the lower half of page 3 / upper half of page 4. 

If I open this document and want to find the 2nd or 3rd figure using pgdown, I
would never see them.

Let me know if you still can't reproduce and I'll try another document.  I will
also test some other word processors to see how they handle such a scenario.

MRU->OS: I can confirm the problem. Just open the attached document and scroll
through it by using Pg dn key. When reaching the graphics/Charts on page 3 you
will notice that the view then jumps to page where the last object is.
It looks that it is essential that only one page is displayed; do not use the
book layout view.
