scrolling in one file affects another file!

I recently started seeing some really bizarre behavior on my Textpad instance at work.

Suppose that I have 2 files open in Textpad, and the window for both files is positioned to show the middle of the file (both files span many many screenfulls). Now suppose that I focus on file #1, and scroll down several screenfulls. If I then ctrl-tab to file #2, I find that file #2 has also scrolled downwards!

This annoying behavior has only recently started on my work instance of Textpad, and is NOT happening on my home instance. Both are Textpad 7.4.0 64 bit, and I have made no changes to Textpad in months.

Has anyone else seen this bug? Is it Textpad, or something else wrong with my work machine?

You've turned on synchronised scrolling. Click Configure > Synchronize Scrolling to turn it off.
