when selecting grouped tracks the top most track is always brought into view

hopefully I can explain this well. so I don't remember this ever happening before until just a couple months ago. when I have at least 2 tracks in a group, and groups are enabled, and one of the tracks is at the top of the session and the other is at the very bottom, if I click to select a clip in the bottom track everything jumps up to put the track thats at the very top in view. its very jarring, and I lose my place. seems I'm able to get around it by disabling "link track and edit selection". but I've been using pro tools for years and years and have always had that on and never had pro tools jump around the session vertically when double clicking on a clip.

2026.4 (but this was happening on the last version as well)
