Notepad++ page scroll on changing tab

Question

I just installed the latest version of Notepad++ (v.6.8) and I noticed something surprising. I have been using Notepad++ for a while and I am used to move from a tab to another for various reasons.

Here is my problem: when switching from a tab to another, and then switching back to my initial tab (tab1 -> tab2 -> tab1), I notice that notepad++ does not keep in memory the location of the pointer on tab1, and scrolls me back up in tab1.

This is quite annoying as it forces me to scroll down back where I am working every time I switch tabs.

Has anyone noticed such behavior ? Can it be deactivated somewhere ?

Answer 1

If you have XML Tools plugin try to disable "Set XML type automatically" (Plugins -> XML Tools -> Set XML type automatically).
Taken from here.
Worked for me. BTW, it is fixed in XML Tools 2.4.7

Answer 2

Just noticed the same behavior. In "Preferences -> Multi-Instance", I choose "Always", and it seem to be fixed.

I can not guarantee the efficiency of this solution, but you can try it out!
