Open File at Line doesn't always jump to the line

[jankrassnigg]

Description of the Issue

When I use grepWin to open a text file at a specific line, Notepad++ won't always jump to the desired line. It will always open the correct file, but often it stays at the top of the file. However, if I open the file a second time from within grepWin, while np++ still has the file open, it will jump to the correct line.
If, however, I close the file in np++ before opening it again from grepWin, I will typically get the same incorrect behavior again.

Note that this doesn't happen always (but on my machine with a very high probability), so maybe it's a timing issue.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

See description above. I used grepWin when I noticed the issue, but you can probably reproduce this in any way that opens a file at a specific line.

Expected Behavior

It should always jump to the specified line when opening a file.

Actual Behavior

It sometimes stays at the top of the file.

Awesome! I'm surprised I wasn't on the latest version, I thought it had updated just a few days ago :-|

Thanks anyway!

@ArkadiuszMichalski,

Yes, it should fix 8007.
