Problem

After upgrading to 2026.01.30-1 (from 0.5.14-1), I notice that the window position changes (horizontally) when the PDF is updated. (If you zoom in so that the PDF is wider than the screen, no matter where you are focussing on, the PDF gets moved to the left after the file is updated)

Steps to reproduce

  1. Upgrade to 2026.01.30
  2. Open a PDF.
  3. Zoom in until your PDF is wider than the screen, and scroll horizontally.
  4. Update the PDF (my use case is to recompile the tex file using pdflatex)
  5. PDF refreshes, but gets shifted to the left

Expected behavior

PDF should refresh, but the position should stay the same
