Clicking class name when on that class page should not refresh page.

Hello @javadoc-dev at openjdk.org <javadoc-dev at openjdk.org>,

When I am on the Javadoc for JFileChooser
<https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/25/docs/api/java.desktop/javax/swing/JFileChooser.html>,
clicking on the topmost JFileChooser triggers a full page refresh, even
though we are already on the same page.

I propose that, upon clicking on the JFileChooser, that it is treated as if
it just jumps to the top of the page. This is the same functionality as
clicking on a method name -- those don't refresh the page, they just jump
you to a location on that page. Same deal -- just jump us to the top of the
page.

I have added a simple screenshot to the bottom of this email to clarify
which part I am talking about.

What do you all think? This should be a super low effort change to do,
while upping the usability in a nice way.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
