Yes, sure. You can repeat the scenario with 'M-x project-find-regexp'.

The crux is doesn't restore the previous window scroll positions.

This especially cut against the mental model of the older version of the 
UI which presented locations in a more "transient" fashion. But the 
model has changed, and there haven't been any complaints like this 
recently, so let's close it.

Thanks.
