Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have a long list of pre-existing tags in the tagging module. With an image selected, I like to go down the list and apply the relevant tags to the image by double clicking on the tag. The problem is that every time I add a tag by double clicking, the scrollbar jumps back to the top of list. This is annoying, as when adding tags from top to bottom there is no need to return back to the top of the list, requiring extra scrolling to re-find the previous place in the list.

Describe the solution you'd like
Scrollbar maintains its position (does not jump back to top) upon adding each tag.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the tagging-module behavior with an image selected and a long pre-existing tag list on Linux Mint Cinnamon 21.1, then trace what happens after double-clicking a tag. Done means the scrollbar keeps its current position after each tag is applied, including when working down the list.
