When for example working in the Software Factory, it is not strange to swap between the multiple opened documents. Unfortunately that also means that certain states get returned to their default.

Ex:
1) You have the Subject entity open and are looking at the columns tab. You have moved your horizontal scrollbar to the right to see the “Context input” column. After having checked something in another document and return to the Subject entity, the scroll bar is again at the start and the “Context input” is again out of sight. Similar behaviour for vertical scrolled grids or forms.

2) Another example is the process flow design. You are zooming out to make some space where you intend to put new actions and have some room to move stuff around if needed. After returning it is back to a zoomed in state to just fit all placed actions inside.

3) Last example is one of the more annoying ones, which might not entirely fit in this idea as it probably has another cause. You are working on a functionality and have your template open in your IDE and the Thinkwise Workspace Listener is keeping you saved changes in sync. You deploy the current saves state and notice an error. You get back to your IDE to correct this, as the file is still opened, and now the file does not save as it is disconnected.

Please keep the state of the document to what it is when leaving it to go to another document, so you continue with what you were doing there.
