Exactly the same situation here. I'll continue my discussion here too from the previous thread to keep it all together.

Does either work to get syncing functioning again?
Are you sure this is the latest Sigil version?

I am sure this is the latest version of Sigil (9.16).
Here are my specs again from my original post on the other thread:
Sigil 9.16, Qt 5.12.3, windows 8.1.
I'm not using PageEdit but I do have it installed, if that's relevant at all (latest version, I'm pretty sure, although I don't see anywhere to find the version number).
Like Springbok I haven't found any way to fix it other than closing Sigil and re-launching. If I go to a different tab sync is also broken on that tab. Closing the tab and re-opening it does not help. It does not seem to be linked to a specific series of events, it just happens when it happens.
I launch Sigil by double-clicking on the file I want to work on (epub files are attributed to Sigil on my computer).
Also running:
- frequently but not always Adobe Acrobat Reader next to Sigil with frequent focus switching (if I'm working on a complex conversion).
- Chrome in the background
- windows bloc notes also with relatively frequent focus switching for working out my regexes and keeping notes.
- Toggl Desktop to track my time on projects.
- a few background utilities like f.lux, dropbox, screenpresso, things like that.
This may or may not be linked to a weird image bug I just noticed: if I click on an
image in the Preview panel, the code view does not sync to that image even if I try to select it and drag it a little in preview so I'm sure it knows I clicked on it. Clicking on text still syncs both before and after but images no. Not sure if the two are linked but it would be great to fix that as well as I frequently need to find the code for a specific image out of many and the easiest way is clicking on it and syncing to it.
