Default Folder Tracks--unwanted vertical scrolling

Does anyone know a way to stop the unwanted "scroll to selected track" that happens when opening and closing folder tracks? Super annoying. If I happen to have a track selected above or below where I'm currently scrolled in a session and I open or close a folder track, the session scrolls to that selected track, which I don't want. I can stop this by selecting the folder track I'm about to open or close, but this is a pain if I forget to do that. I just don't want that auto scrolling at all.

Default Re: Folder Tracks--unwanted vertical scrolling

It seems to be an interaction between the settings in the control app "App Banks Daw", "Auto-Bank to Selected Track" and Pro Tools preference "Edit Window Follows Bank Selection" but I get weird results and I can't make unwanted scrolling go away unless I turn off "Edit Window Follows Bank Selection". But I don't want that off. I just don't want to scroll to the selected track every time I open or close a folder track.

It's as though opening or closing a FT constitutes a "banking event" and triggers all this other stuff. But this functionality implementation is obnoxious.

Which option do I disable to stop banking the edit window only when closing/opening folders?

You are going to have to use more specific terminology for me to understand.

"Banking" is specifically for control surfaces (a bank being a set number of faders.) Is that what you mean? Do you mean something is scrolling to the top on Pro Tools? When opening/closing folders from where? A control surface? Clicking on the folder icon or use the keyboard shortcut to open the folder in Pro Tools?

By default, Pro Tools (when you click on a folder) it spills/opens it downward on the edit window. It does not change the position of the tracks above the folder track.

Better yet, make a quicktime video of the behaviour and post a link to it here (open quicktime, and choose record screen and then do what is annoying you; don't do it from a phone camera because you can rarely see things well on a screen)

I'll try to make a video when I have time. I'm working to a deadline right now. (So naturally here I am gabbing about non-work)

Basically, if my surfaces are banked to one point in the session but I scroll to another point in the Edit window and toggle a folder track Open/Closed then it will scroll the banked tracks back into view in the Edit Window.
Eg. I have all of my stem busses and print tracks in Basic Folders at the bottom of my template. EUCON is banked to a audio tracks way up the session. I scroll down to the bottom of the edit session to look at something, then toggle a folder and suddenly I'm looking at the banked tracks again.
