Notepad Window Line Position after Save

Is there a way to prevent the Notepad Window from resetting the current line position back to the top whenever the IDB is saved? It is incredibly frustrating when I’m using the Notepad for keeping track of things, hit Save, and the Notepad autoscrolls back up to the top line, especially when i’m significantly deep into the Notepad with notes.

Hello @gssincla, I do not have the answer at the moment, but I’ll check in with my colleagues to see if anyone knows a workaround for this. We’ll get back to you soon - thanks for your patience in the meantime!

Hi, unfortunately, we don’t have any workaround for this at the moment.
However, we forwarded your report to our UI team for analysis - it seems to be something to consider as a potential usability improvement.
Thank you for taking the time to share it!

P.S. in theory, it might be possible to save and restore the cursor position using Qt APIs, but I don’t have the details at hand.

To give more details on this, I’ve found its not just on save that it happens… it seems to be whenever the window loses focus.
