keep-the-scroll-position-when-restoring-the-file-selection.patch

Test case:

1) mkdir test
2) cd test
3) while true; do for i in a aa aaa b bb bbb c d e eee ff gg kk lll l x y g h i zz z u uu uuu xxxxx cb; do touch "$i"; sleep 1; done; done
4) open thunar window for this dir, switch ordering to modification date
5) make sure the window is not big enough to show all files
6) select a file and watch

Behaviour without the patch: View always tries to keep the selected file in the visible area.

Behaviour with the patch: View will not try to keep the selected file in the visible area.

I hope this patch has no bad side-effects for operations. In that case, one could still call scroll_to_file manually.
