Pages app automatically skips to first page while editing

My updated Pages app is automatically skipping to the first page of document while editing it. Very annoying and time consuming.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 27.0

I've have been testing different conditions and discover that this behavior might be related to saving the document on a folder shared or synchronized with Onedrive. In my workflow I use Onedrive as my repository of work documents in the final stages of development and archival. All files under this circumstances show this behavior when being edited in Pages. This didn't use to happen before the updates related to OS 27. I observed after manually saving the files and then whenever Pages made autosaves of the documents. So I now believe, something needs and update either OS 27 or Onedrive to fix whatever is broken. As a workaround I am now working may files entirely on the Pages folder in iCloud Drive and then copy it to Onedrive. Not the best solution but for now its working to avoid the annoying jumps to the first page.

After having a bad time working with Pages because this issue, I suspected that this happens every time the system saves my file. To test this, I disabled system-wide autosaving as I cannot do it only for pages. I confirmed that when I intentionally save my document, Pages automatically jumps to the first page (in fact twice, with a ~2-seconds lag). This is far from a solution but at least I decide when the jumps happen. Hopefully this helps someone in the meantime while this is resolved.

Thank you for your time. No I am not using any keyboard shortcut. It feels random; I couldn't identify any trigger action. I erased and reinstalled the Pages app, with no luck on solving the problem. I started a new document pasting the data without format from the old document; and still keeps jumping to the beginning.

Do you have any other idea on how to solve it?
