Why does marking an answer great now move the browser focus up to the top of the question to show that it happened?

It used to just increase the GA count and remove the link to vote for it. Now it displays a blue banner at the top of the question saying it was marked… and it also scrolls my browser view up to see that.

If this is a change, I’d like to suggest it either not do that, or that it display that banner down on the question you GA’d, because otherwise on a question with many answers, it loses my place reading through the answers, which for a question with many answers is disruptive and has me consider not bothering to keep reading.

If it’s not a change, I wonder why it’s now happening and what I could do to stop it.
