1. open an Ant build file in the editor 2. open another Ant build file with many targets (e.g. build-impl.xml) in the editor and bring up the Navigator window: the Navigator window should show a vertical scrollbar 3. scroll the navigator down and single-click any target 4. switch back to the first file 5. switch to the second file again: the Navigator restores its scroll position 6. single-click a target in Navigator just below the first one: Navigator vertical scroll position gets reset to 0% I seem to recall also observing the issue in 5.5.
Another scenario: 1. open an Ant build file with many targets (e.g. build-impl.xml) in the editor and bring up the Navigator window: the Navigator window should show a vertical scrollbar 2. scroll the navigator down and single-click any target 3. click anywhere in the editor and make a change (e.g. input a space character) 4. wait 5 seconds: the selected target in the Navigator loses selection 5. single-click a target in Navigator: the vertical scroll position gets reset to 0%
An old issue.
I think this bug deserves a higher priority than P5 -- personally, I encounter it daily, when running non-standard targets from a customized build.xml.
Cf. issue #65795.
This bug is really annoying. I cannot believe it was marked as P5! (I would rate it as P3.)
Can't reproduce first scenario. Will not fix second scenario; would be a lot of work for marginal benefit.
