Description

When using a FilteredSelectMultiple as a widget for a MultipleChoice field, typically the list of options is longer than what fits in the control. If the user then scrolls down, selects some options, and clicks the arrow to move them to the "chosen" box, then they are correctly added, but the "available" box scrolls to the top.

It would be much nicer if the "available" box stayed where it was.

At ​Matific where we encountered this, we monkeypatched the control's media to add a JavaScript file with this code:

(function($){
    if(!SelectBox)
        return;

    var oldRedisplay = SelectBox.redisplay;

    if(typeof oldRedisplay !== 'function')
        return;

    SelectBox.redisplay = function(id) {
        var top = $('#'+id).scrollTop(); //record current scroll
        var res = oldRedisplay.apply(this, arguments);
         $('#'+id).scrollTop(top); // Restore the scroll
        return res;
    };
})(django.jQuery);

I'm attaching a minimal project to demonstrate it.
