Dreamweaver 2015: switching back & forth code view/design view split vertically

Before Dreamweaver 2015, when switching back and forth between 'code' and 'design' views, I'm was taken back to the line of code I was originally editing. Now, in DW 2015, when I switch back to code view from design, I find myself at the top of the file design view on the split screen and can't see how the change I'm making looks until I go back over to design view and scroll down the page to find the section of text again. It is very frustrating. Anyone know a way to to make going from code click to design click have the same spot/section viewable? Thank you.

What exact version are you using?

My CC 2015.3 Build 7888 on Windows 7 does not work the way you describe.

If I click an item in Design View, the code for that item is selected in the Code View window and if I select code in Code View, that element is highlighted in Design View as well, though if I select more than one item, the highlight may not be all together that useful.

If the element I select needs to be scrolled to, the window will jump to that point on either side.
