Scroll position should not change when returning to file

• VSCode Version: Code - Insiders 1.16.0-insider (0b6da14, 2017-08-11T19:30:08.812Z)
• OS Version: Windows_NT x64 6.1.7601
• Extensions: none

Description
The scroll position moves down as references are retrieved. For large files, the position can be many lines away.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Set typescript.referencesCodeLens.enabled to true.
2. Open any TS file (easiest to see when the file contains an enum).
3. View a different file.
4. Return to the original file.

Related to CodeLense?

I just enabled referencesCodeLens and notice the same. We lost the place where we are even if the references were already loaded.

I am seeing the same and it only happens with code lens enabled. I see it in 1.16 but much more pronounced in 1.17.0-insider 2c385b9

Had this happen as well. Changing "typescript.referencesCodeLens.enabled" to false helped.

The same/very similar problem occurs with the Git Lens extension (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=eamodio.gitlens ) with "gitlens.codeLens.enabled": true. This one might be less pronounced. Probably because the extension adds fewer lines than TypeScript CodeLens.

Windows 10, 64bit. VSCode 1.16.1, but I'm sure it was a problem before this version.

I have noticed the same behavior: after switching a tab, and then back again the editor has scrolled away from its previous position. After setting "typescript.referencesCodeLens.enabled" to false this behavior disappeared.

With referencesCodeLens enabled, just switching tabs and back again, loses the previous cursor position.
The codeLensreferences are useful, because it allows me to quickly see and remove code that is not used. Due to this issue I have now disabled this feature.

Visual Code version 1.17.2, 64 bits, on Windows 10, TypeScript. This problem seems to have started for me possibly a month or two ago.
