Yosemite’s Preview.app goes to top of document when PDF changes

latexpdfpreview

I use Preview.app to view PDFs which I am creating with pdflatex.
In OSX Mavericks, whenever the PDF changed I would switch windows away from Preview and then back, and the view would update, scrolling to the top of the current page when in continuous scroll mode.

Now after updating to Yosemite, Preview.app always goes back up to the top of the document whenever the PDF file is updated. This is extremely annoying and I have found no way to get the old behaviour back. Any ideas? If I choose Single Page mode (⌘2) this seems to stay on the same page, but ideally I would like to keep continuous scroll…

Please let Apple know about this regression in Preview.app's behaviour in OS X 10.10.
