Summary BBEdit Preview sometimes loses scroll position when editing

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.

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?

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
