Quite a few times I've edited a file, changed some constants and then when I pressed build it undid my changes right before my eyes.

Yeah it happen to me very often:

-I try to build my projet
-Errors occure during the building.
-I look at the errors and quick fix it.
-When I press build & Launch button again the change being undid and the build just start (of course same Errors happen again)

I concur that this problems haunts me for years, but it is so rare (in my case) that I never got to catching the cause.

Now thinking about it, maybe the problem is that the file is locked for writing while being compiled?

Another problem I've had in TheIDE is when changing to another tab my scrollbar position won't be recalled upon return so I have to place a caret to make sure I don't lose my place. It always seems to want to go to where the caret is instead of where I scrolled to.

As far as I remember, this is intentional, scroll position is restored, but then cursor is placed and if it is outside of scroll range, scroll to its position is done.
I can fix this.

Cool. Thanks, Mirek.

That said, does that happen with .h or with .cpp file? (If it is just .h, that would be important clue).

Just happen to me in a .cpp file.

I just swaped from .h to .cpp after a compilation error and just did 2 copy paste and compile again then TheIDE bring me back to my first copy paste.

I don't know if this bit of information helps or not but when it this problem occurs it's also clearing the undo buffer so you can't go either forwards or backwards. Could it be related to when undo buffer is full and it's ejecting the oldest entries?
