Hi,

In 26.1 switch-to-buffer by default prefers window-point. buffer-jump by
default uses switch-to-buffer and therefore also prefers window-point to
bookmark position which is wrong. The solution is suggested in NEWS:

> ** 'switch-to-buffer-preserve-window-point' now defaults to t.
> Applications that call 'switch-to-buffer' and want to show the buffer at
> the position of its point should use 'pop-to-buffer-same-window' in lieu
> of 'switch-to-buffer'.

Recipe to reproduce: open a file, set bookmark, move point to some other
position, switch to some other buffer, and jump to the set bookmark.

Best wishes.
