restore cursor position after fix command

[yacut]

The cursor at the moment jumps to the beginning of the file after the fix command. It infuriates me :)

This code will not do what you are saying, since by definition the buffer will have changed so the position you save initially will no longer be the position after the fixes are applied.

That being said though... this will get close in most situations, and is better than what we have currently so I'd be okay with merging this in pending approval from @IanVS.

This seems reasonable. We can't consistently reproduce the buffer reset problem, so unfortunately we can't test that this actually has the intended effect. But it doesn't seem to hurt anything. The only request I would make is to add some comments to explain why this is being done. I don't think it's obvious by looking at the code why we would need to do this.

Thanks for the contribution, @yacut!

@IanVS, could you please publish the changes?

[IanVS]

Actually, I've been using master lately which includes this change, and it does not seem to have fixed the underlying problem, unfortunately. We may need to revert it back out, since it does not have the intended effect. Before we do that, it would be great if I could get confirmation from someone else that this does not solve the cursor problem.

To do that, uninstall linter-eslint from atom, clone this repo, then apm link from inside the repo. Then use it for a while and see if the cursor still jumps to the start of the file occationally when fixing on save.

I already installed it from the master and it's works works for me: https://media.giphy.com/media/3o7bubhh3ZUgFe41qg/giphy.gif
The cursor stays in the current position after the autofix.

It usually works for me too, the cursor resetting is intermittent. Can you leave it on for several days and report back whether it never resets. It happens once or twice a day for me, usually.
