modify epub - not returning to my place in book list

not sure if this is a bug, a feature??? or some side effect of other settings

if i display a list of books e.g. i list those where read=n, then i process one item by using modify epub... when I accept the modify epub changes I am not then returned to that book in the list. I am returned to top of list? or somewhere else in list? but whatever- with a long list the book I just modified is often nowhere to be seen as it's now off screen

NB this is an old-ish 3rd party plugin, not Kovid's polish epub one. dunno exactly how long it's been like this and whether it started to happen after some specific calibre release. I am currently on latest 3.39.1
only a minor annoyance but if there's an easy fix ...
i use this plug in, and not the polish one, because I am used to it, it does all that I want, except for the return to list bit, and so I have no great desire to change
