Bug Description

There are times - after an hour of work - that terminals get popped around and trying to move via the keyboard gets extremely hard because navigation no longer moves how the eye would expect.

Example:

|...|...|...|
|...|...|...|
|...|...|X|

X represents selected terminal

Attempting to move to the terminal left of position could result in this.

|X|...|...|
|...|...|...|
|...|...|...|

Then Down:

|...|...|...|
|X|...|...|
|...|...|...|

Down:

|...|...|...|
|...|...|...|
|...|X|...|

Left:

|...|...|...|
|X|...|...|
|...|...|...|

This essentially leave it users guess as to where input is going to wind up. It also leaves it up to the user to grab the mouse, move mouse over bottom left, and click... (ugh...) - That's because the bottom left becomes unreachable via keyboard.

It's not always this order - that was just a sane example. It frequently happens when I'm updating many servers and groupings and such move around and terminals move to respective locations on terminal based on physical location (sensible ordering for me working with them).
