Description

### Description

When you navigate inside a file, then you go to another file keeping the previous one open and when you get back to the first file, the scroll position and of the cursor location in the first file are lost, so it automatically shows up the top of that file.

### To Reproduce

1. Open the file a.cpp and navigate through it so you go to a specific cpp function inside that file.
2. Open the file b.cpp in another tab while keeping the file a.cpp open in its tab.
3. When you get back to the opened tab of the file a.cpp, you are redirected to the top of the file a.cpp.
So when you are focusing much on a specific function in a.cpp and just wanted to check something related to that in b.cpp, when you get back to the open tab of a.cpp, you completely lost the position of the cursor on the function that you were working on.

### Expected Behavior

The position of the cursor in the open file that you left open in a tab for a while should be the same when you get back to it.
