Bug Description

I know it's a little thing, but it really bugs me.
If I load nautilus up and I view the files and folders as a list I get the following problem.

If I use the keyboard to quickly move to a folder that starts with 'S', I press the 'S' key. In this case it takes me to a folder called software. Which is great. But then if I use the mouse and double click the software folder all the folders jump about and I end up opening a random folder 3 or 4 items above or below the folder I clicked.

This may only occur if the list of folders is large enough to require scrolling.
