When I select a nick name in the left pane of a channel, the refresh makes the
cursor returns to the top of the list. So it's difficult (almost impossible) to
select somebody which is situated in a long list of connected people.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Connecting to a channel with a lot of people (like wanadoo.fr) and go down the
list in order to select and to talk to someone who is situated near the end of
the list.
Actual Results:  
When the refresh is carried out, the cursor returns to the top of the list and
the nick name is no more selected.

Expected Results:  
remind the nickname selected or the cursor position in the list

I think this is a fair bug, though I don't know how fixable it is. Can someone
confirm this bug?

What is the "refresh"?

I just observed it nuking the select/scroll position when someone joined, so
that is definately one place. I suspect anywhere we do that RDF tree root change
thingy it is likely to happen.

Pretty sure this is fixed now.
