Please fix a very minor but irritating bug
I've mentioned this to the developers and on the forum, but will mention it again as I find it so annoying. Basically, Mellel documents "jump" after editing either auto-titles or citations "inline". Try it for yourself: highlight an auto-title or citation, click "enter" to go into it, edit it, and then hit "enter" again to exit. You'll notice your screen jumps.

Re: Please fix a very minor but irritating bug
Another strange, minor but also somewhat irritating bug occurs when I scroll through the document. There is not only the usual vertical movement but also a very small, one or two pixel only, horizontal shift that immediately snaps back. It is only barely noticeable – but this is exactly what makes it so irritating, because you notice just enough to realize that something is not quite right. (Happens mostly in compact view, I think.)
I was able to capture this with QuickTime X’s screen recording feature and submitted a bug including the movie to the Redlers, but so far I haven’t heard back from them. (Not that we can discern much development in other areas of our favorite word processor, but still…)

Re: Please fix a very minor but irritating bug
This bug is still around and still annoying. It also happens when editing auto-titles. Please fix.

All right a bump of a 4.5 year old post I made about an annoying bug that is still there. Please fix!

Hey DanZac!
I can't seem to reproduce this on 2.9.1.
In the outline pane I can navigate and hit enter to edit an auto-title, and then hit enter to leave it. My document stays in the same place.
I can't hit enter, but I can double-click on the auto-title in the document. I can then hit enter to dismiss the dialog box, but my screen doesn't jump.
