That change only has to do with CV -> Preview syncing. Nothing else changed. No idea at what you are seeing or why.
Well, I did say it was easy to demonstrate.

I've just reverted to 2.5.0, and I'm not imagining things. In earlier versions, as soon as you made a slip up in editing, Preview pane zapped right up to the top of the file and displayed the warning. You couldn't miss the warning, and the Preview pane was then no longer in sync with the Code View.

The error warning at the top of the preview pane was always of interest to beginners I introduce to Sigil. The warnings are not always easy for them to understand but they were improved last year (IIRC, BeckyEbook helped to make the display better). Their most important feature was to shout 'you've done something wrong'.

Now with v2.5.1 in MacBook, linux and Windows, if you're editing well down in the file, you just don't see the error warning. Preview stays synced with your editing position.
