That means all scroll positions will be resetted. Not really UX friendly. This plugin recovers the old scroll position in your Editor after saving. Either HTML or visual editor. **Sounds pretty good? Install now!** #### Feedback If you want, you can drop me a line @[ocean90](http://twitter.com/ocean90) on Twitter or @[Dominik Schilling](https://plus.google.com/u/0/101675293278434581718/) on Google +. #### More Try also some of my [other plugins](https://profiles.wordpress.org/users/ocean90) or visit my site [wpGrafie.de](http://wpgrafie.de/). ## Installation Note: There will be NO settings page, just go to your post edit screen and test it.

The bug/decision in wordpress is extremely annoying and unbelievable. The problem is that this plugin does not work. It does nothing. Every time I click ‘update’ in the wordpress editor (editing a page, not a post) then it reloads the entire thing and the cursor is back to the top of the page. This forces the user to find the original cursor position constantly. This slows down the editing. Inexplicably this is still the default behavior in wordpress.
