Vim retains the cursor position and the view of a window when
changing windows in a tab or when changing tabs. You're not
changing windows or tabs, you're changing buffers in one window.
The view into a buffer is not a property of the buffer, it is
a property of the window. You can view a buffer in more than one
window and each window can have its own view, including its own
position in the buffer and its own cursor location.
See
:help windows-intro
for a little on this.

Gary
