This issue is present when any type of file that I've tried (*.java, *.yaml, *.xml, *.css, *.html, *.js) is loaded in the main editor view.

This only began happening when I recently upgraded to the latest build (via Help -> Check for Updates).
Sorry, I don't recall what exact version I was one before the upgrade.

I also tried downloading the latest installer, installed a fresh installation and created a new workspace with a new project.
This issue was still present in this new workspace/project.


***************
* Explanation *
***************
When navigating between rows/lines using the up/down arrow keys (on your keyboard), the horizontal caret position is not maintained.

If you navigate past a row/line that has less characters than the horizontal caret position on the previous line, then the horizontal caret position will be equal to the length of the shortest row/line that was navigated past.


***********
* Example *
***********
The below example makes reference to the sample file represented below.

1) Using mouse, place cursor on line 1 between the "f" and the "g" characters.
2) Press the down-arrow button twice (2x) on keyboard.

Expected Outcome:
****************
The cursor is expected to be on line 3 between the "f" and the "g" characters.

Actual Outcome:
**************
The cursor is now on line 3 between the "c" and the "d" characters.
