Just to clarify, we're talking only about the case of editing the outline view directly, not with the inspector, right? Doing it via the inspector still may have the item disappear from sight, but in my experience the inspector stays pointed to the right place. I've gotten in the habit of editing this way because often I'll be in a view that doesn't show some of the columns I might want to change, and bringing up the inspector is much faster than adding the column to the window.

It does seem like having the action stay put until the edit of the row is closed would be an improvement...though I'm sure we'll see some posts wondering why the action didn't move after the context was changed just as soon as that change hits the streets :-)
