Start at reference A, go to reference B in a different chapter / book. Click the ‘Back’ button to return to reference A. Reference A appears in the Book | Chapter | Verse boxes in the toolbar, and the cursor returns to reference A, but reference A /never/ appears as part of the visible text in my project window–it always shows text /near to/ reference A, but never the reference itself… (reference A is usually off the top of the project window and out of view). Am I the only one who sees this behaviour? Is there any way to correct it?
It should scroll the \v corresponding to the verse of the reference back into view. It should be the same thing that happens when selecting the Book | Chapter | Verse in the toolbar. Do you get the same problem when using that?
Also, what version of Paratext are you using?
When I use the Book | Chapter | Verse tool, it does not always scroll to the selected verse either–again, it ‘overshoots’ (i.e., the target verse is sometimes off the top of the screen).
I’m using version 7.5.100.66.
I was unable to reproduce your problem. Could you attach a screenshot to show your Paratext windows? Your windows might be interacting with each other to produce unwanted behavior.
If you can, you might consider trying Paratext 7.6. There have been a bunch of bug fixes on 7.6 and it might have been fixed already.
Here’s a screenshot:
All windows are at Gn. 41:9 except the vernacular project window (upper right). It’s at Gn. 41:11…
I tried 7.6 once, but went back to 7.5 (can’t remember why…) I’ve seen a few people into problems with Notes disappearing in 7.6 recently, so I’m quite hesitant to go with the beta right now.

Yes, I have this all the time with 11 windows open on Paratext 7.5.100.66 on a Win-XP virtual machine. I just got used to having to scroll. I get the same when I double-click a find result from the list – the selected text often isn’t visible because it’s off the top of the window.

Just seeing anon110139’s reference to WinXP and virtual machines; I should add that I’m using Win7 on a ‘real’ machine. For what it’s worth,
