This is the biggest bugaboo with me with BBEdit. With most editing-type apps, there is a degree of hysteresis when you undo/redo several levels. The result is, when you are at a given level in the undo history, toggling between undo and redo will allow the user to see the change they made undo and redo before their eyes. With BBEdit, the page will always scroll to the next change, and if it doesn't happen to be in the viewport, you will not see the change occur. What is additionally frustrating, is that this even occurs if you have only moved the cursor to another part of the page, not even making a change. eg, If I make an edit then move the cursor to a part of the page outside the viewport, then undo the change, I am brought back to where the change was made. But if I redo, rather than seeing the change go back in, I am immediately brought again to where the cursor was before the undo.
I have pored over the preferences and have not found a setting that would affect this behavior. This is extremely frustrating, especially since undo/redo hysteresis seems to be common among most editing apps, from many years back. I find BBEdit to be am extremely high-caliber and user-helpful app otherwise, but this seems like such a basic feature with most apps, I have to actually say the BBEdit default behavior is "lame". I keep updating hoping that by now BBEdit has caught on, but I still don't find the desired behavior. Please make undo/redo hysteresis available on BBEdit.
