            Bug ID: 124874
           Summary: UI: "Target in Document" list of Bookmarks refreshes
                    itself causing it to re-scroll to top of list
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.7.3 release
          Hardware: x86 (IA32)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
UI issue causing major usability annoyance. In Writer, if you have a document
with more than approx. 18 bookmarks added, and are then adding Hyperlinks using
the "Dcuments/"Target in Document" sub window, upon scrolling the list of
Bookmarks below what is visible at the default opening size, the widow after a
few seconds will auto-refresh itself and cause the scroll postion of the
bookmarks to jump back to the top of the list. 

This occurs very frequently, especially when work with a document with over
15-20 bookmarks and you are working thru the document methoidcally adding
hyperlinks (i.e. linking a table of contents etx.) Upon rescrolling the list
down ward again to below the first 18 or so entries it will always jump to the
top upon stopping scrolling to your location and then force you to do it again.
This behavior is unwanted and when you have scrolled to a position lower in the
list it should not jump or shift by itself during an editing session, unless
you close the "Target in Document list"

Steps to Reproduce:

REPRO STEPS:
- Open a new document in LO Writer, it should have at least 20-30 bookmarks in
the document.


Add HyperLink:
- Select "Document" on the Hyperlink pop-up window
- This will open the "Target in Document" pop-up window
- Highlight text in document to add link to
- Target in document" window, scroll down the Bookmarks list to select a
bookmark below what is visible upon window opening (i.e #21 or beyond)
- In the Hyperlink dialog, click "Apply", then click Apply in "Hyperlink
Window.
- If successful, repeat with another Bookmark further down bookmark list





Actual Results:
RESULT:
- The "Target in document" list upon being scrolled below the lower pane will
at some point will auto jump back to Bookmark one. If you then re-scroll down
below the pane it will stay at that postion and allow you to select and aapply
a link, or two but the often within a thrid or fourth try will again refresh
that window causing the list to jump back to the top #1 Bookmark in the list.
This jumping upward behavior is frustrating and unwanted.

Expected Results:
Scrolling postion below the lower pane of the intial view should remain in
position , unless user input is applied.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
This has been occuring in Writer perhaps since 6.0 or earlier.
