git-cola/git-cola — Issue #97: Staging files jumps file list instead of keeping focus on 'modified' items

Every time I 'stage' a 'modified' file, the file list ("Repository Status") jumps to the top of the list, making any further 'modified' (unstaged) files out of view of my screen. I have to scroll back down the list for every file, and this gets annoying when I have 20-30+ files to stage. Wouldn't it make sense to just auto-advance to the next modified (unstaged) file, given that I've already said the staged file is ready to go? That way I don't have to scroll down again and again and again for each file I stage. The main task of Cola (for me) is to review and stage files, so IMO it should make it easy to review/stage any remaining files as I go through the list.

Thanks!
