I observe a similar problem in TREELIST mode with version 142. When I
use, for example, 'p'
to preview a file, the cursor jumps in the list window to the first
level directory that
contains the file that I preview. As a quick fix, I added
NetrwRestorePosn() to
NetrwBrowseChgDir() (see diff below). I haven't checked if it has
side effect. I also
haven't tried 143d.
