removing a background cause the selection to scroll all the way up

The bug has been opened on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/control-center/+bug/109106 "When the user clicks "remove" to remove a background, the selection is moved all the way up. That makes wallpaper selection/refinement difficult when the user has a long list of wallpapers. The expected behavior for the removal procedure is the selection to go all the way up to "No Wallpaper", while the list keeps on the same point is was, showing the wallpapers that were next to the removed one on the list."
While I agree the current behaviour is not the best for theme management purposes, I think the alternative proposed is even worsefor the normal case of wanting to set your background (ie. silently selecting without letting the user know what's going on). Maybe it would be better to just select the next entry in the list?
reply from the submitter: "Yes, that is a very good way. I thought about that, but didn't suggest because I thought it would be a "big" change you guys wouldn't like. I would actually prefer the way you have suggested." I think selecting the next item would be good
