The automatic scrolling of the firewall rule page after a rule was modified leads to mis-clicks

Describe the solution you like

After a rule is modified (added, cloned, edited, etc.) the screen first refreshes in its initial position, i.e. scrolled all the way to the top. Then the info div appears with the Apply button, and then the screen scrolls automatically approximately to the position of the latest rule. This misleads the operator into thinking that the refreshing of the screen is complete and to mis-clicks of the Apply button that land on edit/clone/delete buttons down below.

Describe alternatives you considered

Waiting for a few more seconds for the screen to be guaranteed to complete its refreshing, which unfortunately is not immediately obvious for a human. Also, the existing programming is a productivity killer.
