Document scrolls to vertically center partially off-screen node when node is newly selected

I’m not sure whether this is a bug, but if it’s a feature I don’t find it particularly useful :sweat_smile:

Steps to reproduce

Click within the text of a previously unselected node that has more than one line off of the top of the screen.

Expected result

The cursor is placed where I clicked, and nothing else happens.

Actual result

The cursor is placed where I clicked, and the document jumps so that the selected node is at the vertical center of the screen.

Environment

macOS Sierra Version 10.12.6
Chrome Version 72.0.3626.109


Additional information

Example of trying to click from the yellow paragraph to the red paragraph.

Additional comments

Often when I click between nodes I just want to add something and still be able to see what I was looking at before, which is no longer possible if it jumps out of frame. Even if not, I find it jarring and unexpected when the document jumps to center the selected node. Furthermore, if the text is long, the jumping can result in the cursor being completely off screen, as it’s the bullet point that gets centered, not the cursor.

I hope this makes sense and that I’m not just crazy!
