Description

When I have ExplorerPatcher installed if I'm inside a Network Drive with a lot of files/folders in it and I scroll down, it will reset the scroll back to the top of the folder, seemingly at random (most happens frequently). It only happens in Network Drives, not in local drives.

I tried uninstalling ExplorerPatcher and visiting a Network Drive and didn't have any issues. Then reinstalled ExplorerPatcher and immediately saw the same issue happening again.

Version: 22621.1413.54.5
