That is the intended behavior of "anchor to page". You anchor it to a specific physical page. The other content might float, but the object stays on its page. It is up to the user to shift the object. A tool for moving the anchor might be useful. Depending on the position and size of the object it is sometimes not possible to drag the anchor using the mouse. And I do not know a method to move the anchor without mouse.

It's fine if this is the intended behavior. However, I should note that: 1. the image will move to page 1 when clicking the anchor (first selecting the frame, secondly clicking the anchor or when changing the anchoring 2. And the image isn't placed back to page 4 when pressing CTRL+Z once

Drag it to the text area, not to the top-left corner. > 2. And the image isn't placed back to page 4 when pressing CTRL+Z once Page 4 doesn't exists. So the object cannot be put there. So you need to undo the removing of the page break too, for to get the page 4 back. The problem is, that users do not understand for which use cases this kind of anchor is suitable.
