Editing the same file in a split causes vim to jump to the top of the file when saving with autoformatter

   My bet would be that the LSP is returning the entire buffer via formatting. I've got a thing that takes the returned buffer, diffs it to the current state, and constructs linewise edits for LSP to use. You can check that here: https://github.com/CKolkey/config/blob/master/nvim/lua/plugins/lsp/formatting.lua

   This might have something to do with extmarks being clobbered when the new text is written. For example, here is a GitHub issue describing the problem: https://github.com/mhartington/formatter.nvim/issues/22 This is for formatter.nvim, but this would likely apply to any process that rewrites the whole buffer.

4. efm-langserver

   General purpose Language Server

   

   As far as I know, the only solution (other than getting formatting directly from a LSP server) is to use EFM (https://github.com/mattn/efm-langserver), which implements the tricky logic of figuring out how to only update the changed text.
