First line starting with space affects cursor position when switching buffers

Hello,

I have encountered what appears to be a bug in vim,
but it might be a feature that I would like to disable.

To reproduce the problem:

Use vim to create a new file, and add 10 or so lines of text to the file.
In the first line, put at least two characters, and make sure the first character is a space or tab.
Place the cursor on the last line (or any line other than the first line).
Save the file (:w) and switch (:e) to view another file.
Switch back (:e) to the original file.
Notice that the cursor is on the first line, not where it was originally.

I am using vim 8.0 for Mac.
