Conditional Formatting Manage dialog with long ranges

1. In a spreadsheet with conditional formats, open Format -> Conditional Formatting -> Manage
2. Move the dialog (you might want to see some calls behind it in the spreadsheet)
3. Resize the Range column (some ranges can contain many cells)
4. Click on a range other than the first
5. Click Edit...
6. In the newly opened dialog, click Cancel

Notice that,
1. The position of the Manage dialog was reset so that it's in the middle of the parent LibreCalc window
2. The column widths have been reset as well, and you can no longer see the full range.
3. The first range is selected, instead of the one you edited.

This is annoying because as seen in the screenshot, I have a number of single-cell ranges which I suspect have the same conditions, but it's hard to go over each of them and verify that (which range I selected is reset when I close the Edit... dialog, and the first range is selected instead).

We did something similar recently for the bookmark dialog (bug 146261). However, restoring the column size failed (bug 149074) and I don't know how to fix this. Caolan, any idea meanwhile?

Guess to remember the position is still some help for you (the dialog is not resizable).
