The list forcibly reverts to the top and I am unable to keep any but the first several satellites in view.

I have the same problem SOME of my satellite lists, but not all.  It won't let me scroll down through the list.  But I've had this problem with the last several versions, not just 1.40.

This list is auto sorted periodically to ensure that the satellites are sorted by their next pass time. How many satellites do you have in the group?

Ok, i have at least three groups that won't let me scroll down.  One has 183, one has 155, the other has 85.   One group with only 75 satellites scrolls perfectly, so you must have the limit set at 75 or 80 for some reason.

My computer is an HP with Windows 11.   1.83 TB storage.  32 GB installed Ram.  128 MB Graphics card.  Can you increase the max number of satellites in a group?  My suggestion is 200.

Correction!    I just found another group with only 45 satellites that will not scroll.   So it must be a different problem!  Maybe a memory problem or something?

Recommended group size is 5-20 satellites. With larger groups the SkyView and TimeLine become difficult to read, and prediction calculations steal CPU power from the UI, making it less responsive. Keep your groups small.

I only have 17 satellites in my group. Could the re-sorting be made less often? It seems to be about every second.

I will look into this.
