Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
Build ID: 20171112125346

Steps to reproduce:

In the debugger:
I stopped executing and are looking at the code. Is viewing the code somewhere else than where the execution stopped. Maybe in the same file, maybe in some other.


Actual results:

Then, the debugger flickers and you are back to viewing where the execution stopped. So you need to scroll back to the code you viewed again.
This is so tiresome, because it happens all the time. And has happened for years. 
So now, when I try to view code on other places than where the execution stopped, I sometimes rush to set a temporary bookmark where I want to view the code, not for the execution to stop at, but like a bookmark. 


Expected results:

If you are viewing the code at some place, the debugger shouldn't flicker and move you back to where the execution stopped.
