I do not know how to suppress this behavior.

Yes, this could be a bug. At first go I didn't find a reason
in your 
code snippet for the automatic scrolling.
Maybe you could reduce your code until you get the code line
which 
causes the trouble?

Sure, I can do that.  Will get back to you with my
findings....

Hi Andreas,

I have been able to narrow down the problem.  The issue
seems to be
with the getString() method, this causes the documents
scrolling
behaviour...

Please see the attached document, where I have written a
small
openoffice basic macro to demonstrate the problem with
getString(), it
certainly looks like a bug to me...

thanks

Ashok
