In BBEdit 14.6.4, I'm editing a 5,400+ lines local HTML file and using the Preview to... preview... the changes.
I'm halfway down the page and I add a "<br>" to a line and press Return.
The Preview page refreshes and scrolls to the top, losing my place.

but in cases where it does not, I regret there's nothing further to be done.

I tried editing a long scrolling HTML file with the BBEdit Preview visible, and it retained the scroll position when adding <br>s.
Does this depend on the document being previewed? Does it always happen?
What OS version are you testing on?

Ah... I found a(n extreme) case.
1. Open a long HTML doc and its Preview
2. Scroll halfway down in both windows
3. Enter a <br> in the code
--> the Preview remains scrolled
4. Scroll to near the bottom of the code and enter a <br> twice and then delete them
--> Preview jumps to the top
