Mouse button down on any buffer is lost when a buffer is automatically reloaded, affecting scrolling and selections

[dubeg]

Summary

I have two files opened. One that's a log file that I keep opened while a program executes and append logs to it, and another file on which I just browse the content in the meantime.

Expected behavior

I'd like to keep the (mouse) focus on the current buffer when another one is reloaded/refreshed.

Actual behavior

I simply lose the focus on the buffer I'm currently on whenever it happens.
Ex: I'm scrolling the latter file via the minimap and the first file will automatically refresh/reload and interrupt the scrolling action.

Steps to reproduce

1. Have a program that automatically appends text to a file every 4 seconds.
2. Open that file in Sublime.
3. Open another buffer in Sublime.
4. Work on that buffer while the other program executes.
5. Experience interruptions in your workflow.

Environment

• Operating system and version:
  • Windows 10
• Sublime Text:
  • Build 3111 (portable)

Confirmed on Windows 7 x64 and Ubuntu 16.04 x64 with build 3111 (non portable). Also interrupts selecting text with the mouse, not just scrolling with the minimap.
