Description
Version and Platform (required):
- Binary Ninja Version: 4.1.5040-dev Personal (8d18fc1e)
- OS: MacOS (but also tested on Windows)
- CPU Architecture: M1
Bug Description:
Not totally sure if it's intended or not, but if i switch from Linear view to Triage (or Strings, Types, Memory Map) and then back to Linear, cursor being reseted to beginning of the file, so if i wants go back to Linear saving my cursor position, i should use Escape (or Go back command)
Steps To Reproduce:
- Open linear view
- Switch to
TriageorTypesorMemory maporStrings - Switch back to
Linear(but not withGo backcommand)
Expected Behavior:
As it works for Byte Overview, Graph and Hex Editor i think it should keep cursor at the same place when i switching from Linear.
Here is quick demo:

Research direction
Start by reproducing the cursor reset when switching between Linear and Triage, Strings, Types, or Memory Map, then compare that behavior with Byte Overview, Graph, and Hex Editor. Done means returning to Linear preserves the previous cursor position without using Escape or Go back.
