List box on the Manage Tags page should remember position

Title:
List box on the Manage Tags page should remember position

Area:
Manage Tags page

Summary:
The list box on the Manage Tags page should remember your position when the page is reloaded.

Description:
http://www.dreamwidth.org/manage/tags has a list box with a huge great list of all the tags in my journal. Sometimes I go through merging or renaming to catch spelling errors. (OK, I have done this once. I like to imagine I am more organised). When doing this, when I click Rename, Merge, or whatever, it does the requested operation and then reloads the page with the list of tags back at the top. When the list is long, this is annoying.

I don't care about long-term , but it would be good if it could remember my position in the list within a single session.

With changes: completely redesign the horrible horrible UI on that page from scratch so that it's not horrible, frustrating and stupid.

But, in the short term, this'd be good as well.

Comments like that are not really helpful and productive, just for the record -- we're well aware that many of the management areas on the site need UI help; we just lack people with UI experience.

Yeah, sorry, I know that it's a longer term plan, and I keep meaning to see if I can mock something up but just not had the energy for much for some time now.
