            Bug ID: 116099
           Summary: Documents saved in Web View do not remember the cursor
                    position.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.0.6.3 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: ladar+libreoffice at lavabit.com

Description:
Whenever a document is saved, while in the "Web View," and then reopened, the
cursor/position will be at the beginning of the document. This does not happen
if the document is saved in the "Normal View."

Note the issue also occurs with the document already open. It happens whenever
you switch between Web and Normal view modes. The key difference is that when
switching modes in an already open document, the cursor holds its position, so
pressing any key will cause the view to jump to the cursor position. 

When working with large documents, this is a serious issue, as it can take
several minutes to find where you left off.

I confirmed this behaviour in Writer 6.0.1.1, and 5.0.6.3. Based on web
searches, I believe the issue occurs regardless of operating system, and across
a variety of versions.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Edit something several pages into a document while in Web view.
2.Save the document and close.
3.Open the document, and the Web view will be restored, but at the beginning of
the document.

Actual Results:  
The document will reopen in the Web view, but at the beginning of the document.

Expected Results:
The document should reopen at the same point it was at when closed. This is
what happens when a document is saved in Normal view.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes
