G-code scroll

Not sure if this is a bug or a feature request but if I scroll through the code to a specific spot as soon as I do a MDI or jog it rewinds the code to the beginning. It's pretty irritating.
Thanks

Hi Derek,
It is because if there is motion detected then the software runs the g-code viewer refreshing cycle.
If you just scroll the g-code viewer then the current line will still be the same as earlier and when you command motion the software will refresh the g-code view control moving the carret to the line where the current line is.
As a quick workaround you can press the Run from here button to make that line the current and then the refreshing will not scroll it.
Also I'll check if I can do an exception in the code about the refreshing for the MDI code execution.
