Prevent navigation tree reanchoring?

Is there a way to prevent the navigation tree from jumping back (reanchoring) to the location of another tab when a tab is closed? Here's what I'm seeing:

Let's say I have two sessions open, session 1 and 2. I close session 2, and the nav tree reanchors on session 1. This wouldn't be a big deal if the sessions were near each other in the list, but when there are a lot of entries it's problematic. There are a lot of cases where I want to close a session and then immediately re-open it, and when it reanchors I now need to scroll through again.

If I'm not clear on what I'm asking, please let me know!
