GoLand Repositions Caret Upon Desktop Switch
Completed
I am working with GoLand on macOS. I use multiple (virtual) desktops on my MacBook and switch back and forth between them. Oftentimes, when I switch away from the desktop where GoLand resides and then come back to it, the caret has changed position. Take the following example:
Where I leave the caret:
type index struct {
file *os.File
mmap gommap.MMap
<caret here>
}
Where it is when I come back:
type index struct {
file *os.File
mmap gommap.MMap
<caret here now>}
In this example, my still-empty newline was removed and the caret that was positioned there was positioned elsewhere.
This automatic reformatting and caret repositioning is extremely distracting and interrupts my flow. Is it a bug or a feature? In case of the latter, how can I disable it?
Thank you so much in advance!

Hello,
The feature is called Actions on Save. It executes Reformat Code action with gofmt on save by default.
There are a few ways to avoid changing the caret position:
I hope it helps.
Works perfectly, thank you! :)
