Why is it that every time I save my file in Eclipse with Ctrl-S it moves the cursor to the top of the page I'm working on? Coincidentally, it moves the cursor to the top of the JavaScript section of an HTML page I am editing. It's really annoying. How do I stop it?

Now I can't duplicate the problem. I've tried it in two different versions of Eclipse: Indigo and Juno. Indigo has the default editor theme and my Juno has the Aptana theme (not sure how this happened, but oh well.) I guess it's fixed now? – Jason Hartley Jul 28 '12 at 06:58

Yep, was plagued by the same annoyance. In the eclipse preferences, select javascript then editor. On the editor preferences page there is a box, checked by default, called "Smart caret positioning in JavaScript names (overrides platform behavior)". Uncheck it.

For a second it seemed like it did work, but then it didn't. God, I hate Eclipse. – Jason Hartley Apr 29 '12 at 08:05

I've got into the habit of hitting ctrl+Q immediately after ctrl+S This brings you back to the last edited location.
Not so much a solution as a workaround, but it has stopped me pulling my hair out nonetheless.
