I am trying to edit some custom filters to reflect changes made to the base 
filter between Incident 7.0 and 7.6.  This is my first very heavy use of the 
%...@$# Dev Studio.

Is there any way to get it to STOP re-scrolling the field list to the top EVERY 
time I click on an object, or click on the blank row at the bottom to ADD a 
field, or select a field to add, or select what I just added to copy the 
value???  I finally managed to get the two filters to appear side by side in 
the editor (not a straightforward task) where you can compare the Push Fields 
field lists, which are huge, causing them to jerk up to the top whenever you 
try to select or insert something.  This is on the filter 
HPD:HII:CreateIncident_100`! so it is a LONG list of field mappings.

BTW, when I started today, I was seeing a consistent mis-behavior when I tried 
to add a Field to the list, in that it would NEVER add it to the list from the 
Field Selector dialog box on the first try - it always took a second try, 
whether double-clicking it or clicking OK. Selecting the Value from the 
Expression Editor did not have the same problem  At least when it added it, and 
you mapped a Value to it, it resorted up to its correct place in the field 
list.  I installed patch 006 since I was using 005, and that particular 
mis-behavior was fixed, however, now when the new mapped field is added with a 
value, it remains at the bottom of the list.  That is much easier to live with 
than having to select the field twice, but then the Admin Tool did the same 
thing (left the new mapping at the bottom).

The fact that selecting ANYTHING in the field list causes the entire list to 
scroll off the page, means that EVERY click is followed by scrolling back to 
where you were.  It is INTOLERABLE.  I'm ready to go back to the Admin Tool, 
now!
