Description
Currently (RIDE v1.3, Windows 32-bit on Windows 7 64-bit) when navigating back to a previous view (by e.g. a back arrow) we are returned to the correct view, but always at the beginning.
It would be usable for Editor to remember the current cell (or cursor position) for the view when leaving it (to e.g. follow a keyword hyperlink) so that when going back we can easily continue where we left off.

Start by tracing RIDE's visual Editor navigation and the back-arrow path described in the issue; no specific files or tests are named. Determine where the current cell or cursor position is lost when following a keyword hyperlink, then verify that returning to the previous view restores that position.
