I dislike the new behavior, so I sent Omni a quick in-app message.
I think thereās a further problem with this feature. Yes, if Iām in forecast mode and I click on a specific date in the calendar in the top left of the screen, when I change a due date for an event that is scheduled for that date I am not jumped to the list of tasks for the new due date. However, if Iām in a custom view ā even something standard like āDue and Availableā ā then the calendar isnāt available, and there is no workaround.
While the vast majority of people posting here seem to find the new feature less than helpful, it does also seem the case that a few users like it. Seems like it definitely needs a setting in Preferences so that users can toggle between the current way of working and the previous way of working.

Thought Iād give this a bump, as there have been a few updates to OF since we were discussing this but thereās still no sign of including a switch that allows users to choose between the old functionality and the new functionality.
Any idea when this switch might make an appearance?
There was a change back in the 2.8 release that allowed toggling between the two different modes outside of the forecast view. Iām not sure if anything specific was released for handling the issue when in forecast though.
From the 2.8 release notes, if itās helpful:
Scroll Position ā The change in v2.7 to keep the selected item visible when changing a date proved unpopular in Forecast, so we have reverted it for that perspective. If youād like to change the global default back to the pre-2.7 behavior, you can use this link: omnifocus:///change-preference?ContentOutlinePreservesVisibleSelection=false.
