 This isn't so much a bug as it is a gripe with the plugin management
 interface that has long annoyed me.

 If you have a number of plugins installed and activated:

 1. Scroll down the list of plugins
 2. Deactivate a plugin near the bottom
 3. Page refresh jumps back to top of the list

 Often, I am deactivating and reactivating plugins for testing or
 development purposes, or to check for potential conflicts. Having the page
 jump back to the top after deactivation, then having to scroll down the
 list of plugins and find the same or similarly named plugin again tends to
 waste a lot of my time.

 I think it would be much more convenient to load an anchor link to the
 deactivated plugin upon the page refresh, rather than sending the user
 back to the top of the list with every deactivation.

 Just a suggestion that would help me, and I'm sure many others.

 Thanks! :D
