                    folder is super disorienting

SUMMARY

The smooth scroll leap always when descending out of a folder is rather
disorienting and nauseating. That smooth scrolling can't be disabled in itself
is a little tedious, but that it scrolls around without user input when just
trying to navigate the folders makes it hard to use the file manager at all. A
workaround would be useful, if there was any.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Enter any folder in symbol view that is relatively large, then any subfolder
that isn't at the top (so that you need to scroll down to get the folder icon
onto your screen)
2. Descend out of folder again via breadcrumbs

OBSERVED RESULT

Frantic not user prompted scroll down from some wrong position way above the
subfolder you just descended from, to bring back the subfolder icon into view.

EXPECTED RESULT

No scrolling that isn't user-prompted. Also, there should be a setting to
disable smooth scroll to make everything instant anyway.
