Files selected in MRs in Firefox and Safari are not scrolled into view

Summary

Selecting a file from the Changes tab in a MR does not scroll the file into view in Firefox and Safari as expected.

Steps to reproduce

  1. In Firefox or Safari, open !217337 (diffs)
  2. In turn, click on the first four files in the changes.

Example Project

See the example MR in the GitLab project linked in the Steps to reproduce.

What is the current bug behavior?

Each file gets selected but is scrolled out of view. It has to manually be scrolled back into view.

What is the expected correct behavior?

Selecting a file should scroll to the top of that file, like it does in Chrome or Edge.
