Title:
  Synaptic Other Software tab jumps/scrolls to top when a repository
  check box is clicked

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in synaptic package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In Synaptic's Software & Updates window, clicking the check box for a
  repository in the Other Software tab causes the list of repositories
  to jump to the top of the list. The scroll position of the list is
  instantly lost, disorienting the user, and hiding the fact that the
  click did anything, until the user scrolls back down to find the item
  that was clicked.

  This is only noticeable when there are enough repositories in the list
  to require scrolling.

  Finding the clicked repository again is especially difficult when all of them look nearly identical, as is the case when they're all PPAs with no comment string. (Every item in the list is just a long URL that looks very similar to the others.) It's even worse when there are both package and
  source URLs for each repo.

  This is especially problematic when updating the repo URLs after a
  distribution upgrade, because it's a very repetitive task, and the
  scroll window jumps and loses its place every single time.

  Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
  synaptic 0.81.1ubuntu1 amd64
