Navigator should "remember" the position in Headings

Navigator should "remember" the position in Headings If you are working in a long text with many headings and "position in the navigator" f.e. on "Heading 2 3" (see attached graphic), this position is forgotten if you close and reopen the navigator, i.e. the first headings are always shown. (Closing the navigator is often necessary with lower resolution of the screen.) After opening the navigator you always have to reposition to a range of headings, you are working on in the document. If - at least in the same session - the navigator "remembers" the position in the headings and shows the same range of headings, this (together with issue 36567) would be a great enhancement for working in long texts like books.

G. Marxen is right. The fact that the headings section always jumps back to the top on reopen is very annoying as soon as you start to work with longer documents (above all where the headings section has to be scrolled in the Navigator.)
This works differently if "Content view" is turned on, i.e. only the outline is shown. Then, the current heading, i.e. where the cursor is, will be activated. Anyway, I agree that in the "general view" the last view should be remembered, so that the user can pick off where he left.
To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements".
