Ideas
I've found that when grading, when I move from one student to the next, rather than being brought to the next student's first response, I am present with their last question to listen to and grade.
This was the case until early this morning with the latest release. If you click the "Gear" icon in the top right of the Gradebook you will see the option to toggle "Save & Next student goes to:" but no need to change that as the default should function exactly as you've mentioned! :)
