Actinic "jump to top of page" annoyance

[maffpunton]

Hi!

After having had the Actinic software for a while now I think I've discovered what is possibly the most irritating thing in any piece of software I've ever used:

If you scroll down and select something in the page layout view, edit the layout code and click 'apply', the page preview jumps back to the top. This is infuriating when you want to make multiple changes in the lower regions of a page.

Is there a way to stop this?

Thanks!

Turn off the page preview! That is not being funny but there is no need for it. Turn it off, set your default browser to Firefox and click preview in external browser. Saves times, hair and patience.

I do use firefox to check my offline page previews but I find that the page preview in actinic is useful for selecting layouts from the preview rather than the code.

Think this is tied up with a wish list request to turn off the auto refresh facility as you could under v7. I think when you hit apply the webpage is refreshed but there is no anchor for it to point to so effectively returns back to the top of the page as you would refreshing an external browser with no anchor in the URL.

I have a 2 monitor setup so if I do need the internal preview to navigate the layouts quickly I place this onto the 2nd monitor.

Not just Actinic but "in any piece of software" ... Matt is a lucky guy indeed

Hi Maff - and others

I've referred this to the development team and suggested it gets raised as a bug.
