Dear Amr,

I have followed your instructions, but I cannot reproduce the
behaviour you describe.  What I *do* observe is that the editor view
changes, but even so, the cursor remains in the same place in the
file.  The bug you describe was fixed upstream a few months ago, see
https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/issues/19958

If you can take a screencast showing the behaviour you describe,
please do send it to this bug report and I will be able to investigate
further.

Best wishes,

   Julia
