Description

Shotcut version 20.09.27
Shotcut version 20.10.31

Make clip name column wide for long filename.
Clip name should be wider than playlist width.
Select something in playlist.
Suddenly playlist position jumps somewhere to the middle and hides clip number and thumbnail.
You must all the time scroll playlist back to left.
Very annoying and time consuming bug.

Research direction

Reproduce the jump using Shotcut 20.09.27 or 20.10.31 with a long clip name, following the playlist steps and the linked video. Start by locating the playlist UI implementation; done means selecting an item no longer moves the view to the middle, and the clip number and thumbnail remain visible without repeatedly scrolling left.
