Poor UX after redirecting to user ID anchor on Users screen

Description
After adding a new user from the Users screen you're redirected to an anchor on the Users page (wp-admin/users.php?usersearch=newuser&update=add#user-2
). This doesn't work well with the admin bar toolbar in place because it mostly covers up the point where the anchor is. This is more prominent now the toolbar is persistent in the admin area in 3.3.
Off the top of my head I can't think of any other screen which redirects to an anchor. Maybe we should just remove the anchor in the redirect? The redirect includes the usersearch
parameter which should be enough in most cases anyway.

Would probably say "Edit User" rather than Edit Profile.

Replying to jane: Me too, I used "Edit User" instead of "Edit Profile" in the patch. I wrote my initial post during a lecture so... (Yes, I was that bored) :)

What about adding an "Edit Profile" link to the end of the success message
I guess we'd want to do that consistently for all the "Add User" screens, including several screens in Multisite. The patch turned out bigger than I initially thought. 19470.3.patch (unfinished) illustrates the idea.
Perhaps we should just fix the issue outlined in the description for now, and move the link addition to a new ticket.

Yes, all of them should have the "Edit User" link. My patch was to give a general idea about my proposal but the real patch is way bigger than it as you mentioned so I agree that it deserves its own ticket for further discussions.

A lot of the code proposed in this ticket is designed to clean up how we handle multisite redirects, which when dealing with users, is a bit of a mess. (I think I just re-defined the phrase "a bit" to mean "a lot".)
Let's just remove usersearch plus the anchor as proposed, and then provide a simple "Edit user" link.
What about adding an "Edit Profile" link to the end of the success message displayed after adding the new user succeeds, in order to make the life easier for those who want to edit the newly-added-user's profile immediately after?
