Example Code:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
   public Form1()
   {
      InitializeComponent();

      string text = "";

      for(int i = 0; i < 300; i++)
      {
         text += "sdsdfsfgsg" + Environment.NewLine;
      }

      syntaxEditor1.Document.Text = text;

      syntaxEditor1.Caret.Offset = 1500;

      syntaxEditor1.SelectedView.ScrollToDocumentStart();
   }

   private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
      syntaxEditor1.Document.Reparse();
   }
}
After clicking the button, the current view unexpectedly scrolls to the caret location.

Hi Dave,

Whenever selection changes occur, the caret gets scrolled to. The document reparse, triggers a complete UI invalidation, which indirectly raises a selection change that thus kicks off that code.

The only workaround for you would probably be to suspend painting, save the first visible line, do the reparse, restore the first visible line, and resume painting. That may work.

I can try that. However, is there any chance of it getting fixed?

Nevermind, I found a different workaround.
The latest build of this product (v24.1.1) was released 3 months ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
