Better Outliner (IMO)

the outliner jumps to center an item inside the outliner window (i've only checked in view layer) when we double-click the item, in order to rename it.

this is not good. that jump makes me unfocus on the text and find the item again.

also, when we click an expansion triangle thingy, to see the items inside a parent item, the outliner doesn't jump. the jump would be helpful at this point, if the children items are out of view (outside the outliner window).

i think it would be an improvement; remove the jump when renaming, and add it to parent item expanding.

very tiny one, but still an improvement! i'm on 3.5.1, btw.

if it's fixed / changed in 3.6 or planned for 4.0, this topic is mute.

I agree it shouldn't jump when double clicking to rename.

When expanding, I think it should only jump if the expanded child list is outside the view of the outliner.
