Preview to Code View syncing works just for me in all my Linux testing. We had an issue in the 0.9.15 beta that would break PV to CV sync whenever an internal link was clicked, but that was fixed for 0.9.16.

What Qt version is your system? We had to make some concessions to allow Sigil to work at all on Linux with Qt versions earlier than 5.12.x. And based on the improvements to QtWebEngine from 5.9.4 to 5.12.x, the further back you go toward that 5.9.4 minimum, the flakier I'd expect QtWebEngine to be.

You could try downloading/installing Qt5.12.3 from Qt and building Sigil against that to see if it makes a difference (5.13.0 should work too--just stay away from 5.12.4).
