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?

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
