When I modify a column (e.g. Title and/or data type) in data view, the data view moves back to full left, even when the actual column is in the middle of right.

This is very unhandy when you have more than ~10 columns and you have to move back an forth while editing each column.

I would like to have the focus on the actual column after editing it.

Very irritating. Would appreciate a fix for this!

Anyone who has tried to modify column definitions on wide tables hates Power BI desktop a little bit because of this. I know we are only 16 votes, but we represent thousands, nay millions, of silent, mildly dissatisfied users. Please fix this.
