Description:
We have a large amount of tables in the overview tab. Enough to allow significant scrolling. When clicking a table towards the end of the list. The whole view in the overview tab jumps to the top row of tables, starting with "+ Add Table", and the table which has just been clicked on is not visible, so we must scroll down again to see it.

How to repeat:
1. Load up an editor for a database with many tables, enough to allow scrolling of the overview tab.
2. Make sure no tables are currently selected, i.e. click inside the SQL editor text box to give it focus.
3. Scroll down to the end of the tables inside the overview tab
4. Click on a table which in say, the 2nd to last row of tables. (the overview box should automatically jump to the top.

Suggested fix:
Remove the code which causes this auto-scroll or "jump". It's unnecessary.

Verified on Windows XP. This happens only when you switch to Overview tab from some other tab and click on table.

Confirmed on Linux (Fedora 16) on 5.2.35. It also happens in some other situations:

- Right-click on a schema to select it as the default.
- Click the disclosure triangle next to a schema.

Either way, if I want to make a schema the default, I need to find it in a list of 100's of schema 3x until it stays put.

It appears that the latest update (5.2.36 on Fedora 16) fixed this. Thank you!
