Editor scrolls down after editing and saving a tex file

Same problem occurs in my Ubuntu 12.04

I found the solution. It is due to the cursor position issue. Simply use gconf-editor
apps--> gedit-2-->preferences-->cursor_position, check restore_cursor_position.

sorry, my previous method doesn't work

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I finally figure out a method to fix this bug::

One can change /usr/lib/gedit/pluins/latex/latex/editor.py as

    def on_save(self):
        """
        The file has been saved

        Update models
        """
        if self._preferences.get("outline-connect-to-editor"):
            self._preferences.set("outline-connect-to-editor", False)
            self.__parse()
            self._preferences.set("outline-connect-to-editor", True)
        else:
            self.__parse()

This work for me.
The idea is when saving the document, we disconnect the outline and the editor.

Confirmed, this fix works for me. Thanks!
You changed the status to "Fix Released" - does that mean the fix will be rolled out in the near future?

In Ubuntu, "fix released" means "a fix was uploaded to an official Ubuntu repository", see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status

I believe the correct status is still "Confirmed" until someone official uploads a new package that includes the proposed fix.

Setting back to Confirmed/Medium. Fix released is restricted to when the fix was put available for download in an Ubuntu package. This issue still exists, and requires (so it seems) a code change.

Although there seems to be a fix for this, it is failing on:
 * it is not a patch
 * it does not identify the version being fixed
 * it has not been acknowledged by upstream.

@Huihuo Zheng: thank you for your work on this bug. Unfortunately, we cannot use it as is, due to the points above. We prefer that upstream acknowledges, and accepts, a patch.

@Any affected: please report this issue (of not already reported) to upstream (https://bugzilla.gnome.org).

Somehow I forgot to reset the status to Confirmed. Doing it now.

This bug is already known upstream: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=671975

The solution in #5 worked for me but it also made my latex plugin unusable. (Ubuntu 12.04, gedit - Version 3.4.1).

The patch proposed upstream (http://git.gnome.org/browse/gedit-latex/commit/?id=34542364508a040a283e1d641b17df960da3f646) solves the issue for me.

I'm really in a hurry to finish an article here, then I applied this patch (http://git.gnome.org/browse/gedit-latex/commit/?id=34542364508a040a283e1d641b17df960da3f646) manually to /usr/lib/gedit/plugins/latex/outline.py but it did not fixed the problem here. This is a very annoying bug. My outline.py after manual patch is like this:

        """
        Expand a path and select the last node
        """
        # disconnect from 'cursor-changed'
        #self._view.disconnect(self._cursor_changed_id)
        selection = self._view.get_selection()
        if not selection:
            return

        # select path
        self._view.expand_to_path(path)
        #self._view.set_cursor(path, None, False)

        # connect to 'cursor-changed' again
        #self._cursor_changed_id = self._view.connect("cursor-changed", self._on_cursor_changed)
        selection.select_path(path)

    #
    # methods to be overridden by the subclass
    #

Actually it works if you do not select any title in the outline page in the left panel (an advance). However, if you select any title, make a change to the file and save it, it will scroll down to the end of the file.

Funnily, my gedit scrolls to the top of the LaTeX file when I save it. The patch works, though. Thanks a million for it.

That patch is in upstread bugfixing release 3.4.1. Can you please SRU it?

*upstream

If I uncheck the option "Follow Editor" at the top of the outline page in the left panel, the bug stops happening even though a title is selected in that panel.

I have packaged the new version which fixes the bug in my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~neoatnhng/+archive/ppa

Feel free to use this until the new version gets packaged in the official repositories.

I have applied the patch, and also tried Michael Tänzer ppa method. Both only fix the issue if you don't click on a section in the latex over view sub plane, or have the follow editor radio button in the off position.

This bug makes the over view pretty much useless, and is pretty annoying when you are typing and gedit decides to auto save, and thus you continue typing over some other part of the document.

I repeat again, both of the 'fixes' mentioned don not fix the bug. they just delay the behaviour until the user interacts with the latex overview sub panel

Confirmed, the bug is not fixed yet.

Like Audrey Durand (adurand) said, when I uncheck the option Follow Editor (top left of outline page in the left panel) the bug also disappears for me.

Same here, unchecking the "Follow Editor" option fixes things. The patch from http://git.gnome.org/browse/gedit-latex/commit/?id=34542364508a040a283e1d641b17df960da3f646, on the other hand, only caused even more random jumps of the cursor.

Please find attached my patch for this bug. I have basically redefined the old _on_cursor_changed into a new method, _cursor_changed_event, and used it inside _on_row_activated. This seems to work nicely, for no stuff is being disconnected and such.

Here's the code (file is outline.py in the main plugin directory):

    def _on_cursor_changed(self, view):
        #Uncomment the line below to get the old behaviour
        #self._cursor_changed_event(view)
        pass

    def _cursor_changed_event(self, view):
        selection = view.get_selection()
        if not selection:
            return

        store, it = selection.get_selected()
        if not it:
            return

        outline_node = store.get_value(it, 2)
        self._on_node_selected(outline_node)

    def _on_row_activated(self, view, path, column):
        it = self._store.get_iter(path)
        node = self._store.get(it, 2)[0]

        self._on_node_activated(node)

        #Comment the line below to get the old behaviour
        self._cursor_changed_event(view)

The tipe #18 (from Audrey Durand) also worked for me.

So far #24 has worked for me. Thanks!

I can confirm #24 for me to (CrunchBang Linux waldorf). Thanks. :)
