I was wondering if there's a way to turn off this feature or at least to delay it.
Currently when a file is in scope, its file name is selected in the Project Drawer and file listing scrolls to make the file name visible. This is usually a good feature.
On occasion though this is more disruptive than helpful. It would be nice if there was a way to keep the current view of the file list in the Project Drawer stay in place and not jump back and forth right away when we open or close files. I often scroll away from the current file location to open files in another area but when I close the file, the view will jump back to the and then I have to scroll again to section I'm interested in.
What I think would be nice is if there can be a short delay in auto selecting the file name in the list once a file is closed. The way we can still select from the view that's currently available but after a few seconds it can jump to the file that is currently being edited.

i use only the drawer and i never close files, so is not disturbing for me. what i notice is something else, when you switch the focus to another application, textmate is saving all files and scrolls the drawer up. this is what disturbing me. can this be fixed?

Not for TextMate 1.x, sorry…
That's a hack though. And I have to remember to mult-select every time I open another file just to keep it from scrolling away when I close the file. Or I would open all the files during my hunt and then once done > close, close, close, close and try to remember which file I started from and not close it from too fast trigger finger.
There are usually enough logic strands to remember when I'm programming, I'd hate to make this part of the noise in my head. (The remaining noise in my head is nicely under control with drugs, thanks. :))

If multiple files are selected, TM won¹t mess with which files you have selected.
