Comapring two files, clicking at a location jumps the cursor to a previous location on that line.
-
I have come across an annoyance, but perhaps it is jut me overlooking a setting …
I have two files open for compare.
When I click at a position on a line, the screen jumps back to an earlier location on that line and thus I then have to go and find that location again and once again click in that location. Sometimes that is Ok, most time not.
What I usually have to do is after the screen jumps backwards to an earlier position, I then have to move the cursor to the location I want to alter that text.
Hope that makes sense.
Appreciate your feedback.

@krammig ,
It might help you to turn on word wrap.
When I have word wrap off, if I’m at
quiteon line#2 :

and click ondownon line#3, it scrolls the horizontal view left:

I assume this is what you are annoyed by.If so, when I turn on word wrap, I can click back and forth between
quiteanddownwithout any unexpected scrolling – because it all fits in one screen-width.

@peterjones Excellent, thanks for that Peter. That did the trick.
