Title: Virtual Backgrounds (full list): “Add Image” resets scroll position to top (macOS)

Product/Platform: Zoom Workplace desktop app for macOS

Version: 7.2.0 (88195)

Area: Settings → Video & effects → Backgrounds & filters → Virtual Backgrounds (full list)

Feature request: After uploading a new virtual background via “+ Add Image”, keep the user at the current scroll position in the full Virtual Backgrounds list (or return focus to the currently selected background). Older versions preserved the position at the current background; the current behavior jumps to the top of the list.

Impact: User has 800+ virtual background images and changes backgrounds daily. Resetting to the top forces repeated long scrolling and significantly slows workflow.

Expected behavior: Preserve the current scroll position and keep the currently selected background in view after adding an image (optionally auto-select the newly added image without resetting the list).

Actual behavior: After adding an image, the full Virtual Backgrounds list jumps back to the top.

Repro steps:

  1. Open Zoom Workplace on macOS
  2. Go to Settings → Video & effects → Backgrounds & filters → Virtual Backgrounds
  3. Scroll far down the full list and select a background
  4. Click “+ Add Image” and choose a file
  5. Observe the list resets to the top instead of staying at the current position
