I just cleared a few transactions. When I clear one that is 10 or 20 up 
from the bottom (and the most recent is at the bottom of the screen - 
that is I scrolled all the way down), the ledger jumps up to where the 
cleared transaction is second from the bottom of the displayed ledger 
and i have to scroll back down to the bottom of the ledger.
