Alabamatom1963changing the "When Notepad starts" option to "Open a new window" did not help. It doesn't open to the top of the file anymore, after minimizing, but it doesn't stay at the location it was at before minimizing. It is close to the top of the file but not at the top.

In my case it is caused by the slide show. It is easy to prove just minimize the file you are using, highlight a file at the bottom, when you see the slide show change your file will jump to the top at the same time. A few key strokes to turn off the slideshow while you are using your list then turn it back on when you are done until they fix it.
