Initial scrolling to programmatically selected tree node does not work in V8 anymore (Vaadin 8.1.5, IE 11)

I migrated the following V7 example

package example_v7;

import com.vaadin.annotations.Widgetset;
import com.vaadin.server.VaadinRequest;
import com.vaadin.spring.annotation.SpringUI;
import com.vaadin.ui.Panel;
import com.vaadin.ui.UI;
import com.vaadin.ui.VerticalLayout;

import java.util.stream.IntStream;

@Widgetset("com.vaadin.v7.Vaadin7WidgetSet")
@SpringUI
public class SelectedTreeNodeScrollingIssueV7UI extends UI {

	@Override
	protected void init(VaadinRequest request) {
		com.vaadin.v7.ui.Tree tree = new com.vaadin.v7.ui.Tree();

		tree.addItem("Mercury");
		tree.addItem("Venus");
		tree.addItem("Earth");
		tree.addItem("MorePlanets");
		IntStream.rangeClosed(1, 100).forEach(value -> {
			final String itemId = "Planet" + value;
			tree.addItem(itemId);
			tree.setParent(itemId, "MorePlanets");
		});
		tree.addItem("EvenMorePlanets");
		IntStream.rangeClosed(1, 100).forEach(value -> {
			final String itemId = "AnotherPlanet" + value;
			tree.addItem(itemId);
			tree.setParent(itemId, "EvenMorePlanets");
		});

		Panel panel = new Panel(tree);
		panel.setWidth("50%");
		panel.setHeight("50%");

		tree.expandItem("EvenMorePlanets");
		tree.select("AnotherPlanet50"); //HERE HERE HERE!

		VerticalLayout verticalLayout = new VerticalLayout(panel);
		verticalLayout.setWidth("100%");
		verticalLayout.setHeight("100%");

		setContent(verticalLayout);
	}
}

to V8

package example_v8;

import com.vaadin.data.TreeData;
import com.vaadin.data.provider.TreeDataProvider;
import com.vaadin.server.VaadinRequest;
import com.vaadin.spring.annotation.SpringUI;
import com.vaadin.ui.Panel;
import com.vaadin.ui.Tree;
import com.vaadin.ui.UI;
import com.vaadin.ui.VerticalLayout;

import java.util.stream.IntStream;

@SpringUI
public class SelectedTreeNodeScrollingIssueV8UI extends UI {

	@Override
	protected void init(VaadinRequest request) {
		TreeData<String> treeData = new TreeData<>();
		treeData.addItem(null, "Mercury");
		treeData.addItem(null, "Venus");
		treeData.addItem(null, "Earth");
		treeData.addItem(null, "MorePlanets");
		IntStream.rangeClosed(1, 100).forEach(value -> treeData.addItem("MorePlanets", "Planet" + value));
		treeData.addItem(null, "EvenMorePlanets");
		IntStream.rangeClosed(1, 100).forEach(value -> treeData.addItem("EvenMorePlanets", "AnotherPlanet" + value));

		TreeDataProvider<String> inMemoryDataProvider = new TreeDataProvider<>(treeData);
		Tree<String> tree = new Tree<>(inMemoryDataProvider);

		Panel panel = new Panel(tree);
		panel.setHeight("50%");
		panel.setWidth("50%");

		tree.expand("EvenMorePlanets");
		tree.select("AnotherPlanet50"); //HERE HERE HERE!

		VerticalLayout verticalLayout = new VerticalLayout(panel);
		verticalLayout.setWidth("100%");
		verticalLayout.setHeight("100%");

		setContent(verticalLayout);
	}
}

In the V7 version, the UI opens and I immediately see the selected node, the scrollbar is at the "right position" (around the middle).

In the V8 version, the scrollbar is at the top and I first must scroll down to see the selected node.

It would be nice to have the V7 behaviour also in V8. We have a tree in a "selection window popup" where the user can pick a node. Before the "selection window popup" opens, the current value is "pre-selected" programmatically.

I also don't see a workaround, because I don't see a way to scroll the tree programmatically.

Start with the Vaadin 8 Tree selection and scrolling behavior, using the provided SelectedTreeNodeScrollingIssueV8UI example and comparing it with the V7 version. Reproduce the issue in IE 11 with EvenMorePlanets expanded and AnotherPlanet50 selected; done means the selected node is initially visible with the scrollbar positioned around it.
