Describe the bug

If you create a list and then select a list item at the bottom for the user, then when they try to change to a new item in the list, it will jump back to the top of the list before selecting that item. This makes for a confusing UI experience, since no scroll should be needed (the item is visible).

The cause seems to be that the list item is not "focused" when we do list.Select(). So when the list itself is clicked - it resets to the focused item (0), then it focuses the item the user clicked on. We only set the focused item in the list when it is clicked - but shouldn't we also set it when we've selected that item for the user?

How to reproduce

list := NewList(...)
list.Select(id)

User then clicks an item in the list and it will adjust the scroll when its not necessary.
