Wish: Don't scroll the other code window

If I open a 2nd code window in the IDE and add some lines to or remove lines from the bottom window, then if the top window comes after the bottom one in the code, it will scroll. I suspect that only rarely, if ever, does someone WANT it to scroll. Usually you want to continue to see the code which you brought up in the window. (Of course, the same goes for changing code in the top window and wanting the bottom window to stay where it is.)

A picture tells a thousand words, an animated gif tells a thousand pictures, and a video is probably going to far.
I don't understand what your talking about here, I've tried opening a few instances of B4a, without issues when I scroll. I'm not even sure you can open a 2nd code window in the IDE. I've only got one.
I think if you where clearer in your question, you would get more/some input from those who could actualy help you.

To split the code window into two, go to the very top of the scroll bar and the cursor will turn into a horizontal bar with an up and down arrow. Click and drag the cursor down. I was under the impression that this is the way that most, if not all, language code windows split into two.

Thanks for offering to help, but I don't think this is a problem that anyone but Erel can help with since it's just the way the code windows work.

me like.
I never said I was going to help, but I understand your issue now. You want the second window to show the code you have scrolled to, not the line number that code is written on?
I see the problem of trying to put this into words.
Basically:
Pay attention to line 52 in the top window and 66 in the bottom window of the attached image:

Now look at line 53 in the top window and 66 in the bottom window of the attached image:
Instance-2.jpg

Hope that helps
