Description Patrick Smith CLA 2001-11-30 16:21:05 EST 
[using Eclipse 20011107]

If I have "Show source of selected element only" selected, once I run the code 
formatter, the cursor is moved to the beginning of the method. This is 
tolerable, if the method is not too long.

If I have "Show complete source" selected, once I run the code formatter, the 
cursor is moved to the beginning of the class.

I would be happier if my current view of my class didn't scroll all the way to 
the top [either of the class or the method]. I think it would be better if the 
top line showing in the editor before the formatting is the same line [give or 
take the formatting of that line itself] showing at the top of the editor 
afterwards.

7215 adresses similar problems. 
Makes nice workaround possible, as cursor stays at old position.
Fomrat your code,move cursor with up,down keys results in moving the editor to 
old viewposition. ok not exactly
