prevent rich:tree from scrolling if not needed

Question

Hello to all,

I have a problem with JBoss Richfaces tree:

Whenever I select a tree node (programmatically or by user click), the tree is re-rendered and (if needed) the tree node is scrolled into the visible area of the tree. So far - so good, but: the selected node is automatically scrolled at the very bottom of the tree view area, although this is not needed, because it was located in the middle of the tree view area before the selection event occured.

Question: Is there a way to prevent the auto-scrolling after/during re-rendering in such a case?

Thx for answers,

Frank
