Bug Description

v 3.3.3.1 windows 10 1809 fully updated. Windows defender A/V

I have about 10 libraries- by genre. Maybe 20,000 books total. Average library about 2000. I edit book information often, metadata, etc.
I always run the latest version of Calibre and Windows 10 updates always current.

Problem example -If I am way down the list in the library at authors starting with W (for example)and I delete a book or one of the descriptors of the book, the action completes but then the cursor jumps me back to the first book in the library.
I then have to scroll way back down where I was working. this becomes crazy frustrating when doing a lot of editing.

When I scroll back down to the book in question it is still selected and blue highlighted. Since it maintained its blue selected status I can scroll and find it fast but still very frustrating to have to do it at all.

I have been waiting for the behavior to stop with each new version but no luck. It may have actually started not long after we went to 3.0

Thanks--love this product.

I cannot reproduce, steps I tried:

1) sort book list by authors
2) scroll to near bottom
3) click on a book
4) click on "remove books"
5) click ok on the confirmation dialog
6) The book list does not scroll and the next book in the list is selected

If you are doing something different, can you please post an exact set fo steps to reproduce the problem, like I posted above.
