This is drag&drop. The fix from comment 7 was only for files that got pasted
(by pressing Control+V or by choosing "Paste" from the context menu or the
toolbar).

We can keep this report open as a wish to extend this functionality to the
drag&drop case. I'm not sure if both should be treated the same way though. In
the drag&drop case, it's possible that the user drags many files one by one
from the left view to the right view. It might be annoying if the view scrolls
to a different position every time. But I see that it can also be annoying to
have to scroll and look for the file(s). I really don't know what's best.

The "Paste" case is different because it's not so likely that the user performs
a sequence of many "Paste" operations - between two "Paste"s, one has to
activate a different view first, select files there and invoke the "Copy" or
"Cut" actions.
