Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When working with a big piece of text, I sometimes scroll down and copy some text into another tab. When switching back to the first tab, both the input and the output pane is back on top. So I don't know where I was working just now.

Describe the solution you'd like After tab switching, scroll position should be remembered and it should not scroll back to top every time.

Research direction
Look into the existing tab component and how tabs switch between inputs/outputs. Investigate if there is any scroll position tracking already. The solution should store the scroll position for each tab and restore it when switching back. Consider using browser scroll events and saving the scrollTop value per tab in component state or a ref.
