1.8.8: Selection in browser resets after xmp was created

[moropus]

XnView: MP 1.8.8 64 bit
OS: Windows 10 64bit

When raw photos are edited in external program and it after editing the xmp file is created, the browser resets current selection. With scroll jumping to the bottom it's almost impossible to edit and sort large photo collections.

To reproduce:
1. Add xmp to association list in Settings -> Companion files
2. Have multiple photos in folder
3. Open browser in the folder
4. Select photo in the browser (for instance, canon raw file .cr3)
5. Edit the photo to create xmp file (for instance, in Adobe Camera Raw)
6. Return back to XnView

Actual behaviour (bug):
7. The selection is reset + the scroll's probably nowhere

Expected behaviour:
7. The selected photo or photos remained the same. Information about photo is refreshed according to the new companion file.
