Search for commit

Hi Guys, 

About a year ago, when I used a filter to find a particular commit, after dropping the filter to see all commits my selection was remaining on the commit that I found and selected. After some of the releases, this functionality was dropped. Now, if I found a commit in the filtered content and want to drop the filter, my selection jumps to the top. I need to remember my commit's date and look in the three for it manually again. 

Was this change done intentionally? Is it possible to get that "sticky selection" functionality back? 

Best regards,

Edgar
