Code jumps position after switching windows

Talismancer M · May 3, 2018, 3:23 AM

Hi, I love Notepad++! It’s ‘lightweight’ feel works so well for me. I’m using it for coding JavaScript/JSON at the mo’…brilliant!

Small issue: I switch from my code window in NP++ to my json file, do stuff, and then go back to my js code and the window has jumped showing code higher up the window. I then have to scroll back down through the code again to find where I was. Why doesn’t it stay where it was when I was last looking at it?

Does anyone else have this issue?

Cheers,

Talismancer

No, not that I’m aware - but it sounds you can replicate this every time if so,
could you just provide a simple example of a script and a json file and explain
what you did so that we can test it? In addition, which version (debug-info under ? menu)
do you use?

Cheers
Claudia

@Talismancer-M
Are you using a laptop with a TouchPad or Touchpoint ?

Hi,
I also have the same issue, and I just updated to the newest version. The problem was “gone” right away, because the AutoSave plug-in https://sites.google.com/site/fstellari/nppplugins wasn’t compatible and thus disabled (I downloaded 32-bit NPP by mistake).
So, for me at least, it seems that plugin causes the jumps whenever the program loses focus.
