Star or color tagging an image automatically scrolls the grid in the lighttable

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I checked and did not find my issue in the already reported ones

Describe the bug

When assigning a star or color rating to an image in lighttable, the grid automatically scrolls to align the first visible row with the top of the window.

Steps to reproduce

-Go to the lighttable.

-Set the number of displayed images per row to 4 (3 also works).

-Scroll down to hide a part of the first row of images.

-Give a star or color rating to an image using either your mouse or a shortcut.

-See the lighttable gallery automatically scroll

Expected behavior

The grid view should not move at all after assigning a star or color rating to an image.

Start in the lighttable grid view and trace the code paths used when assigning a star or color rating with the mouse or a shortcut. Reproduce the issue with three or four images per row and the first row partially hidden; done means the gallery remains at exactly the same scroll position after either rating change.
