Windows 7 64 bit, Nvidia FX4800 all current drivers, AutoCAD 2015.
When switching from one drawing to another, sometimes (I know, that really nails it down) the drawing to which I am switching will momentalrilly display wherever I left it, then switches to the first layout in the drawing.
Almost as if AutoCAD attempts to regenerate the space and cannot and then switches to the first tab.
As I said, it is sporadic and I cannot find anuthing in particular that causes it.
Did you find any solution? Im also having this issue. Allthough mine changes to a specifc layout each time.
Additionally, when closing a drawing with multiple drawings open: for example, Drawings "A", "B" and "C" are open (assume they are in alpha order as for the tabs), I'm working in "A", then switch to "C", then, close "C". AutoCAD lands on "B", not "A", which is from whence I came, which would be the intuative landing place.

Actually, that would be an expected behavior.
To do as you're suggesting would require that the program also keep track of the order in which you've visited the different open drawings (if it is JUST keeping track of the LAST dwg that wouldn't be too bad). This would add even more overhead (read slow it down even more) for something that I don't think would be all that important.
Speaking from the programmer standpoint (NO I do not work for Autodesk, but I do understand how to write software), the program has a DRAWING object. Then it also has a "Collection" of drawing objects. The collection is in order. When you close a dwg file, it removes that DRAWING object from the collection and displays the previous one from the collection (if you close the first one, I believe it shows the NEXT one).
