In today's Daily kingdom on the app, I used Cartographer to look at four cards: Trail, Silver, Witch's Hut and Oasis. I elected to discard the Trail, then reacted with it for 1 Card 1 Action, which then drew...a Province.
I get the logic that caused this: I resolve the Cartographer by 1) looking at 4 cards, 2) discarding some (a Trail) and. then pause resolving the cartographer to resolve the discard of Trail by drawing a card, then resume resolving Cartographer by 3)putting the rest back on my deck in any order. I just never thought about "looking" at a card meaning it's off my deck. It's not in my hand, or in play, or discarded, or trashed, or set aside..so I guess "cards currently being looked at" is a distinct location that I need to add to the mental geography of my turn?
I'm just curious if this it the correct way to think about it, b/c I know this will come up in an IRL game sometime. I can't honestly say I should resolve Cartographer fully and then resolve the Trail's reaction to being discarded, although I'm certain I would have in a game if I hadn't seen this first in the app. It just feels odd that I didn't draw one of the cards my Cartographer was looking at. (Apologies if I've overlooked a post somewhere on the forums about this, I really did search)

The phrasing really doesn't make it "clear." Dominion already has things that can move away from where the game expects them to be.
I 100% understand why OP was alarmed by how this card text was carried out. It also took me a while to realize that "cards being looked at" is another space within the game, and that such cards aren't "on your deck" anymore. Intuitively it makes a lot of sense that they would still be considered on top of the deck, if they're merely being looked at.
