Adding a buss resets horizontal view scroll position - please fix!

Can we have a fix for this:

When there's a lot of busses in the Console, it's annoying to always lose the view scroll position and scroll back to where it was. Why does the scroll position even have to be changed when adding a bus?

Not seeing that here. For me it just pushes the previously focused bus and all buses after it one position to the right as you would expect.

I can't think offhand what config setting might affect that. Could be related to the position and docking status of the Console; what's your diplay setup and window layout?

Strange. For me that jumping after creation is constant. Video was captured with Console view abt. 2/3 tracks, 1/3 busses. Only the buss part in the video, though.

I have no workspace active, display setup is one display at 2560 x 1080 resolution, no scaling whatsoever.

Hmm, it's different, if I select Insert -> Stereo Bus from the main menu. The scroll position then stays the same. Then the new bus is created as the last bus, though, and not inserted after the selected bus. 

I usually insert a bus with right-click a bus -> Insert Stereo Bus. Then the bus is created after the (possibly) selected bus, but the scroll position is reset to the leftmost position.

It seems it's somewhat inconsistent.

I also generally insert tracks and buses by right-click; they are always inserted above/ahead of the currently focused track/bus.

Maybe being located in Finland screws things up:  the Nordic snap to leftmost scroll position.  😂

There have actually been a number of issues over the years that were locale-specific. This could definitely be one.

Yeah, my Win 11 UI is in English but the regional settings are Finnish.

It would be nice to know what happens after insertion of a bus, in the Console view code. If you only insert a new object into a "bus array", one would expect the UI just redraw. But here something must explicitly set the horizontal scroll position to zero, I think
