Drag and drop attachment makes the doc list act funny

This is essentially a bug report, although it's not a nasty bug by any means.

Problem: After dragging an item into another item, the original item collapses its attachment list to hide the newly moved item, and the document list scrolls down to hide the item I just dropped onto. In addition, the Attachments list toggles open and closed with each drag and drop, making it hard to predict where your next click will need to be.

Specific recreation 1: Go to a web page with a link. Click "Create Item and note from selection", and then click "save link as Zotero snapshot" and drop the snapshot onto the original item. Observe: the document list scrolls down to hide the item I just dropped onto (I expect it to stay where it was, so that I could see the item I just changed and possibly make further changes).

Specific recreation 2: Using the same situation as before, click "save link as Zotero snapshot" and again drop the snapshot onto the original item. Observe: the document list scrolls down to hide the item I just dropped onto again, but this time the attachment list springs open. Repeat; this time the attachment list snaps shut! (I expect the attachment list to behave consistently -- either spring open every time, snap shut every time, or just remain as it was. I prefer the latter choice.)

Suggested/requested changes (in my opinion, it would be nice if):

1. The document list shouldn't automatically scroll, but rather just stayed put. If it must scroll around, I'd like it to try to keep the most recently modified document visible. It should definitely not *hide* the most recently modified document.

2. Attachment lists should stay the way I put them, unless I change them myself OR a document gets automatically added to them. Alternately, they should always spring closed, or always spring open; they should not toggle between open/closed when documents are added to them.

Thank you!
