Description

if my room list is ordered by unread notifications and I accept an invite, the focus of the room list drops to the first unread room. It is very uncomfortable when you have a lot of unread rooms as then you have to scroll all the way back up to go back to the top of your list and there is no easy way to do so (try to grab the scroller to move it up 300 rooms is painful, and the other option is 3 clicks on the rooms label, then People label then favourite). This problem could also be fixed by a 'back to the top' button, but given the focus doesn't move when I read a room in the room list it just feels more natural that it shouldn't move here neither.
