Summary0008067: Pressing star '*' key in workshop/stockpile menus also moves pointer on map
DescriptionMany building menus have the option to press +-*/ for scrolling around lists. All except '*' work as expected, but '*' scrolls the menu by one page *and* moves the map pointer by 10 slots. This tends to deselect the building (by moving out of range or on top of a different building), making it impossible to complete the command that was being entered.

It's not a Windows thing, it also happens on Linux (Ubuntu 14). I suspect this is an easy fix for a UI logic glitch.

Steps To Reproduce1. Select a workshop
2. (a)dd new task
3. Press '*'
