I am working with 2 text files in 2 different tabs and want to copy and paste text from one of these files to the other.
Now, when I scroll down in tab 1, select my text, jump to tab 2, paste, and go back to tab 1, the scrollbar is again "on top" and not at the position I left it... This also occurs in tab 2 if I want to paste something e.g. at the end of the file, I first have to scroll down on and on again... :(
I could not find anything in the options that would resolve the problem...
Any help is appreciated!

I just tested just test the issue you reported in Notepad++ version 6.6.9 and cannot reproduce it.
Sometimes such an error is caused by a plug in. Therefore I can only suggest that you start Notepad++ without any plug in (simply rename the folder "plugins" in the installation directory of Notepad++) and retry it. If this issue disappears you should try to identify the plug causing the issue by re-activating the plug ins one by one (re-create the "plugins" folder any copy the plug in one by one from your previous renamed folder to the new "plugins" folder).

This has come up before and I've been having this problem for quite some time. and hoped your suggestion of neutralizing the plug-ins and trying it again would be the solution. Unfortunately, it didn't stop the problem in my case but it suggested something to try.
I think the problem is linked to text wrapping, and some difficulty of figuring what line the end extends to.
With text wrapping turned on and positioned so the last line is visible, I did the tab-switch-and-return on a 580-line json data file and was always returned to the same line at the top of the screen, 36 lines above the last line in the file. If the top line in the window is within 36 lines of the end of the file, a tab switch returns you to the file at line n-36.
I tried this on a shorter file of 50 lines and the jump distance is smaller, but it still occurs.
I work around the problem by marking the line so I can jump back to it, but if there were a way of flipping back and forth between tabs without the drama, I'd be even happier with NP++ (which I think is awesome, BTW).
