- smooth scrolling to editable button after new directory is created
(for now scrolling starts as soon as the mouse moves back to the file list area, for Matt to check if immediate scrolling is possible)

- fix for autocomplete directory, show first matching part if directory doesn't exist, otherwise won't work for directories starting with the same prefix like textures_walls and textures_grass for example.
