We don't see how we can fix this bug. Sorry for that. Normally, moving the caret automatically scrolls the document view because XXE wants the caret to be always visible. However, when there is a selection of any kind, this no longer holds true. Why? Because, otherwise, if, for example, we select some text and scroll the document view using the scrollbars or the mouse wheel, this would extend the text selection. And doing so would be pretty surprising for the XXE user. We considered the idea of turning "Ensure that the caret is always visible" into an option. The problem is that, with such option turned off, the regions of the document displayed by the different document views are no longer in sync.
