Hello, when I open your file, then I have not Undo/redo stack, of course. Please write steps how to reproduce the bug and describe what is the problem. Thanks.

1. Make a document
2. Open 3 pages
3. Write something on page 3
4. Look at page 1 and undo actions on page 3 on page 1
5. It takes you from page 1 to page 3

I thought of undoing/redoing without being pushed anywhere

The issue seems to be that it thinks if you undo/redo - you want to go where the action occurred - and it's right. But the opposite is right too, you may want to undo/redo without being forced to anywhere else

It seems like it's impossible to satisfy both. Maybe there could be a setting that chooses either the way it is or undo/redo do not change your destination in a document

Let's ask UX.

The undo/redo action changes the document content similar to keystrokes or formatting. You need to get a clear feedback if the text changes and that takes priority over a static view. => NAB
