I'm working on an "introduction to Sage" worksheet for my students, and
I've noticed something about my worksheet: there's a certain cell with
the property that after evaluating it, a new active cell is created at
the bottom of the worksheet and the cursor jumps there.

This is fine, since one can just scroll back up, but it's unexpected and
confusing. This will be my students' first contact with Sage, so I'd
like the experience to be as flawless as possible. Also, for my own use,
when I hit shift-enter, I always expect the highlight to move to the
next cell.

I think this is caused by the numbering of the cells. I tried manually
editing them a bit, but it's not working the way I expected -- after
fiddling with the cell number, then a *different* cell had the
jump-to-the-end property.

Is this related to the recent problem where after evaluating a cell, no
new cell was activated?

I'm attaching the worksheet. This was all done with 4.3.3. Any ideas?

After pressing "Edit" and then saving (without actually making any
changes), the behavior you describe ceased. Seems like it might be a
side effect of some tinymce problem.

Huh, that fixed it for me too. I can't believe I didn't think of hitting
"Edit" in the notebook...
