Bug #49016	WB doesn't retain scroll when focus is lost

Description:
When using WB to change the configuration files for my server, I noted that when a section (InnoDB Parameters, for instance) is long enough to require a scroll, that if I scroll to the bottom and the swap focus to another app, WB automagically scrolls back to the top of that section when I return to it.

How to repeat:
Start working with a configuration file, choose InnoDB Parameters.
Scroll to the bottom.
Change focus to another application
Return focus to WB.

Suggested fix:
Leave display scrolled.

Suggesting as a dupe of http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=38868 (can't mark as a dupe myself)

Perhaps related, for sure, but they are distinct bugs.  This bug report deals with screens new to 5.2 which reset scroll position when another app gets focus, while the earlier bug report deals with WB actions which cause scroll reset incorrectly.  I recommend not being listed as duplicate, unless development determines the cause is identical.

Fixed already in release.
