Annoying ‘Auto Save’ Page Jumps.

  • When I’m updating a blog or a page within the WordPress admin, the page frequently ‘autosaves’, AKA saves a ‘draft’. This, of course, is a handy freature, but at the same time, it’s become a highly annoying problem.

    Every time the page/post I’m working on autosaves, the post box jumps from wherever my blinking cursor is up, about five to ten lines above … Almost as if someone was hitting the ‘Page Up’ key on my keyboard.

    It’s extremely annoying as I constantly lose my place on the page, and it’s come to the point where I have to type out an entire post in Notepad beforehand, and then paste it into the post box.

    Does anyone else have this problem? Is it going to be fixed in the next version of WP? Any help would be appreciated. ??

    OS: Windows Vista Home Basic.
    Browser: Internet Explorer 8. (Please, no advice to use a different browser, thank you. I have the most recent version of FireFox as well, but I do not favour it.)
    WP Version: 2.7.1.

  • Yep, that’s right..

    Thanks much!

    I had the jumping cursor too, it was driving me crazy… every time i entered a space, or pasted or navigated out of the edit area the text was displayed from the top but the cursor remained in the correct location – i am in IE8. So i set my site to ‘compatibility view’ from IE8 tools menu option and that resolved the problem for me…

    I thought when I read Anita’s simple adjustment that hooray, I’d found the solution, but alas no… This is driving me absolutely bonkers – but there are four of us writing for our blog and somebody else deals with all the Plugins etc… Noone else has mentioned this – why would it be affecting me but not the others? And interesting that it’s not happening here, in what is effectively a very similar text box…
