Summary: Using other views to navigate the file doesn;t work properly

Initial Comment:
1. Open a large class file using jadclipse.
2. Browse to a method low down in the file using the
outline view.  The editor screen correctly moves to
this part of the file.
3. Click on the editor screen (eg to try and copy some
of the file).  You will find the editor screen zips
back up to the top.  This is very frustrating...

If I get a minute I'll try and work out how this works
and ought to work, but if anyone else fancies fixing it...

Could you please retest this issue? I did some major
refactoring in this area (JadClipse 3.2.2).

The behavior that nobody cites is the exact behavior I see.

Click on a method in the outline view, the editor windows
correctly positions to the method. Then click in the editor
window - as soon as this is done the editor repositions to
the top of the file.

The strange thing is that after a eclipse restart is seems
to work fine, but then later in the session the bad behavior
comes back. Not sure what causes it.

I don't see it on JDK classes because Eclipse always
associates the source with them; by "large" all I mean is
that after decompilation the resulting source is large
enough to make the editor window scroll.  You could just
knock together a class with a bunch of joke methods, compile
it and then decompile it using JadClipse to see this behaviour.

This is in Eclipse 3.x.

Not sure what else I can suggest; as I say, it does matter
how you get to the method.  If you click on method x in the
Outline view then the editor will automatically reposition
itself so that method x is visible.  In my experience if I
then click anywhere on the editor window it goes back up to
the top.  I find that I have to check where in the file the
method is and then scroll the editor down in order to
highlight it and work with it.

What does "large class file" mean? Could you provide a
sample class from the JDK where this problem occurs? I tried
it with String which works for me.

I experience the same problem. It is a real pain.

Just added for confirmation.
