Feels like some 3rd party program is 'sticking its oar in' and broadcasting messages to current application (Sigil) that for some reason are being 'mishandled'.

I suggest the people getting the behaviour post a list of what other programs they might have running when they're in Sigil. That might identify commonality, and allow others to say "I use the superduper RSS gadget too, and I don't get this jumping behaviour".

And is this happening on just one OS or all of them?

Nota Bene : I have such a program(click.to), it interferes with Word. Not drastically, just takes focus away from where it ought be. Irritating but not enough to warrant 'fixing' it by telling it to keep it's oar out of the water when Word's driving the boat.

IMO the problem is in Word because its the only program that 'mishandles' messages that click.to sends. Other programs (eg Notepad++ and Sigil) see the same messages but they don't 'misbehave' like Word does - nor do Excel and OneNote.
