Description
Your idea
In MuseScore 3, undoing a change would scroll the score so that the changed object was visible. I don't know if this was intentionally removed in MS4, but it was a useful feature.
Problem to be solved
In a larger score, I sometimes want to undo changes that aren't in the part of the score I'm currently looking at.
Prior art
