Nemo search does not center onto folder #2210

Issue I noticed a problem with the Nemo search behaviour. If you have a folder with many subfolders and you search by typing the name of the folder you are looking for the view will center on that folder.

This works if your folder view is set to symbol or compact. If you set your folder to list view, the search will still find your folder but will not scroll the list and center the view to that folder.

Steps to reproduce Set Nemo to list view and search for a folder name that is outside the current shown view.

Expected behaviour After typing the first few letters into the search the view should center to that searched item.

Greetings, Vedrafal

I'm still experiencing this on Nemo 4.6.5 with Linux Mint 20 Ulyana (64-bit) on an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 with driver 435.21. It looks like it scrolls closer each time it finds a match instead of properly calculating the absolute position. I attached a GIF.

If you look on the bottom, Nemo selects the correct file, so the only thing that needs to be done is scrolling to that selection.

I can also reproduce this bug on nemo 4.8.5 on Manjaro + Gnome. (I wonder why @icarter09 labeled this as "FEATURE REQUEST". This is clearly a bug in the type-ahead scrolling.)
