It's a feature, of course! :-)
In this case, it is really a feature - if you right-click on an editor
tab, you can see item "Clone Document" in the pop-up. It does exactly
what you describe - opens the same file in a separate editor tab. It
allows you to work with two parts of the same file without permanent
scrolling up and down. You can also drag the cloned tab to another are
of the editor so you can see these two parts side by side, or one on top
of the other.
