Well, it was a mixture of delayed refreshes of the screen, sorting and
modifications to the reconciliation model (which for simplicity is reloaded
completely after each change). This caused the current index to be set based
on the number of visible items when the reconciliation entries were not
loaded and sorted and once that happened, the view was positioned based
on the now invalid index.

The delays are necessary because otherwise it will resort all open ledgers
upon each and every modification of a transaction. And that is just too time
consuming. So the sorting is delayed to the time when all changes have
settled. This was very imminent and visible at the end of the reconciliation
process where it took very long to switch the transactions from state C to R.

Fixing that a while back caused the jumping to start. But all of that now
seems to be fixed.
