the content of preview might change its position when tab-browsing in the editor with snippet false

[ralf3u]

Steps to reproduce

• open Geany with two documents: one very long txt-document and one very long html-document
• html-document is in focus
• close Geany
• open Geany (result: the content of preview is on top)
• tab-browse with the mouse or with shortcuts in the editor, and then back to the html-document (result: the content of preview is not any more on top)

Expectation The content of preview should not change its position during tab-browsing in the editor. It should stay on top.

Remark

• the issue does not occur with a very short txt-document
• the issue appears for fountain, html and md
• the issue is a big problem because it has an impact on issue number 23

Possible solution When tab-browsing on a document with snippet true, then it does not reset something when tab-browsing on a document with snippet false, and that is why the content is changing its position. Evidence: The issue does not appear when tab-browsing only between fountain-documents and html-documents, both very long, and both with snippet false.

If I change in preview.conf snippet_pandoc=true to snippet_pandoc=false (Edit,Preferences Plugin, Preview, Reload Config, Apply and OK), then the issue does not exist any more. But that does not mean that the issue is fixed.

The scroll position for snippets mode will be unstable until I can figure out how to sync the editor and webview.

For the other documents, the scroll position might be saved/restored with the wrong index when the document is switched. I'll have to review the code and see if I can spot the mistake.

Remark Because of issue number 29 is nearly solved, there is now an empty preview for txt-documents, so the issue can not be reproduced with txt-documents at the moment. But the issue can be reproduced with long fountain-documents with snippet_fountain=true.

Today, I can not reproduce the issue when snippet of html and md are false, neither with html, nor with md. For fountain, I can't do tests because of https://github.com/xiota/geanylua-scripts/issues/5. But I think that the issue will also not appear there.
