 Sorry, but problem is not selected/not selected. Filelist position
skips to the top when no item is selected but scrollbar stays on the
right place. This is very annoying. Most file managers keeps filelist
position when refreshing/deleting etc. And this is good.
 You can see well known Midnight Commander:
1/after deleting item(s), they removed from filelist and next to last
deleted item is selected;
2/when renaming file, next to renamed one is selected and renamed file
added to right place (maybe outside of visible items);
3/when creating new directory, filelist scrolls to that directory and
select it in the centre of pane;
4/when refreshing, filelist always keeps position.
 Very useful)
Sorry about bad English.
