To reproduce this:
Set View to zoom-factor "fit width"
Place cursor at the top of a multipage document.
Scroll down with the down-arrow key.

Result:
Whenever the cursor reaches the bottom of the screen, the screen jumps up by about 1/3 of the screen height together with the cursor.
I find this extremely annoying since the gaze of your eyes is constantly forced to jump with the screen display. It would be much better to leave the cursor at the bottom of the screen and let the text scroll up under the cursor. This is the behavior that you find e.g. Word 2002 and Wordperfect 12.

Does anybody share my view of this matter?
Since I have no experience with posting here, how can this be brought to the developers attention, in order to at least allow the user to choose the default behavior?

Hi and welcome to the forums.
