advice2020 created an issue (geany/geany-plugins#1519)

In the `TreeBrowser` plugin, renaming items causes some strange behavior with 
the cursor/highlight.

So far I noticed this strange behavior happens in two different scenarios, both 
with different cursor issues as well.

`SCENARIO 1`
Say the following items are within a folder called `FRUIT`
FOLDER1
FOLDER2
Apple.txt
Banana.txt
Orange.txt
If you rename any of these text files, the cursor disappears after the rename 
occurs.

`SCENARIO 2`
Say the following txt files are in the expanded FOLDER2
FOLDER1
FOLDER2
-Apple.txt
-Banana.txt
-Orange.txt
FOLDER3
If you rename any of these text files, the cursor jumps to highlighting FOLDER3

In this simple example this may not seem that bad, but if for example FOLDER2 
had many txt files inside (that fill up height of sidebar), then when the 
rename occurs, the cursor ends up all the way at the bottom highlighting 
FOLDER3 out of view of the user.

Some solutions would be to...
-Have the cursor/sidebar navigate/scroll (if beginning letter is changed) with 
that newly renamed items location.
-Make cursor just advance to the next item in the list so that at least the 
cursor does not just disappear.
-If neither of the above then might at least be better to have cursor highlight 
the folder that the rename occurred in, which in the example above would be 
FOLDER2 (instead of down to FOLDER3).

Thank you to anyone who reads this
