Description FeepingCreature 2023-04-03 07:25:14 UTC 
SUMMARY
When reopening a file, kwrite remembers the cursor position but not the scrollbar position, placing the cursor at the top of the window.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create or open a file in kwrite that has more lines than kwrite's window height
2. Place the cursor close to the top of the file, scrolled so that it is in the middle of the window.
3. Close and reopen kwrite 

OBSERVED RESULT

The cursor is now at the line you left it, but all the way at the top of the window.

EXPECTED RESULT

The scroll position should have been restored. Alternatively, the cursor should at least be in the middle of the window, so that context is visible in both directions.

Remember scroll position in session

Unlike the cursor position, the scroll position is not saved in a
session, which means the cursor will be placed at the top of the view
instead of wherever it was last located.

Save the last scroll position in a config entry as well.
