Description
Describe the bug
Often, when pressing "undo" or "redo", the selected element is deselected. I don't see a very good reason for that, and it is a little bit annoying.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the issue in MuseScore while an element is selected, then trace the undo and redo handling that changes selection state. Done means the selected element remains selected after undo and redo, with a regression test if the relevant test location can be identified.
