Editing the file

 

web\ie\scripts\alerts.js 

 

so that the function paintSelectedRow reads:

 

function paintSelectedRow(aRowToSelect, aDoScroll)

{

 //Start Change

 aDoScroll = false;

 //End of Change

    if (SelectedRow != null)

    {

       SelectedRow.className = OldRowClassName;        

       SetDropDownClassName(SelectedRow, OldRowClassName);

    }

    OldRowClassName = aRowToSelect.className;

    

    var newClassName;

    

    // Selected priority 1 needs to be painted in different colour.

    if ( (OldRowClassName == "normalPriority1") || (OldRowClassName == "altPriority1") )

      newClassName = "selectedPriority1";

    else

      newClassName = "selected";

      

    aRowToSelect.className = newClassName;

    

    SetDropDownClassName(aRowToSelect, newClassName);

    alertsGrid.focus();

      

    if(aDoScroll)

    {

       if(aRowToSelect.rowIndex == 1)

         alertsGrid.rows(0).scrollIntoView();

       else    

        aRowToSelect.scrollIntoView();

    }  

    

    SelectedRow = aRowToSelect;        

}   

 

Resolves the issue.

It seems you also need to amend:

    SetDropDownClassName(aRowToSelect, newClassName);

    alertsGrid.focus();

    if(aDoScroll)

......

 

To:

 

    SetDropDownClassName(aRowToSelect, newClassName);

    //alertsGrid.focus();

    if(aDoScroll)

.........

Otherwise the grid will scroll to the top.
