Problem/Motivation
Views uses an automatic "scroll to top" behaviour when using AJAX. While it can be useful in some situations (eg. switching to the next page of a long list) in other situations it can be annoying (eg. Views block with exposed filter in the middle of a page).
Steps to reproduce
Create Views block with exposed filter that uses AJAX and place it in the middle of a page. Use the filter. The page will scroll to the top, above the view.
Proposed resolution
Add a setting option to Views AJAX UI to disable the "scroll to top" behaviour. It should be possible to set at the display level.
