Question

FrameMaker 2022: Page jumps back, when I use the arrow buttons at the bottom

Hi,

 

I notice an issue, but I do not know, if this is a common issue or only on my laptop.

Yesterday I wanted to copy a few pages and put the insertion mark into the heading of the first page and then clicked the small right arrow at the bottom of the FrameMaker window to go to one of the following pages. There I pressed SHIFT and put the insertion mark somewhere on this page and copied everything with CTRL+C.

However, when I pasted this section into another file, I noticed that the first paragraphs were missing. FrameMaker moved the start of the selection some paragraphs down.

Today something similar. The insertion mark is almost at the end of a file. When I clicked the left arrow at the bottom of the FrameMaker file three times, the view always jumps back to the page with the insertion mark.

Did anyone notice this as well? Always related to the arrow buttons at the bottom of the FrameMaker file.

This is new in FrameMaker 2022. In FrameMaker 2020 I did not notice anything like this.

 

Best regards

 

Winfried

    Actually, I've observed this behavior for years. I see it in class with my students and it happens to me. I don't know that I remember when it didn't happen so it doesn't really register anymore. I just mindlessly click an insertion point on the new page to hold my place.

    Hm. Strange. I had not noticed this in the last versions. And today this got worse. Annoying!

    Winfried, I now carefully followed your problem descripton - and do not have this problem with FM 17.0.0.226 on Win 10.0.19044.2251. To be certain, I used these two buttons:

    Hi Klaus,

     

    Thank you very much for checking my issue. Yes. I had used these arrow buttons.

    Possibly there was something wrong with the file. 

    When this is a real issue, others and I will notice this again.

     

    Best

    Now I have a similar issue. In a paragraph with a table anchor I put the insertion mark at the end of the paragraph. When I pressed ENTER, the new paragraph was created. Correct. However, the insertion mark jumped to a paragraph several paragraphs below.

    I closed FrameMaker and reopened the file, and I still have this behavior. Always to the same paragraph.

    When I opened the file again, the insertion mark was already in the middle of the page and not in the first paragraph.

    The same even after I had accepted all Track Changes Edits and a MIF wash.

    Strange.

    I do not want to copy everything into a new file, as I want to keep the Track Changes Edits. Although I am confident that this will be gone after something like this.

    Still something like this should not happen.
