This is probably related to the use (or lack thereof) of pdfsync,  
though I never got around to looking into it further. Theoretically,  
if you don't have \usepackage{pdfsync} in your files then it should  
not jump anywhere, it should just show the last thing you were seeing  
in PDFView. If you do have pdfsync, then it tries to take you to the  
correct spot. I suspect the problem might be with files where the  
usepackage line is commented out. Can you send me one of the files  
where it is not working for you?
