What platform are you running Path of Building on?

Windows

Is your feature request related to a problem?

When I edit an item that competes with many other items, the compare tooltips for those other items appear and the screen auto-scrolls all the way to the right. This is annoying for builds with that take many jewels, such as Adorned builds, and most aura supports.

Below is a GIF that demonstrates the problem.

Describe the solution you'd like

Research direction

Reproduce the behavior on Windows using the linked GIF and sample PoB, then inspect the item-editing UI where comparison tooltips appear and the view scrolls right. Done means editing an item with many competing items preserves the user's current horizontal scroll position.
