Go to Anchor for object anchors goes to page centre rather than the object

When you go to an anchor by clicking Go to Anchor in the Anchors panel or go to target in the Cross-Refs panel, for text anchors it goes to the exact position but for object anchors it goes to the centre of the page.

It works correctly in an exported PDF so this is just inside Publisher.

I've setup some anchors on some basic shapes on a page and linked to them via text on another page. When selecting one of them on the Anchors panel and selecting Go To Anchor, the shape is selected.

This was tested in Publisher beta 2.2.0(1994) on macOS Ventura 13.5.1

If you can confirm you're workflow, just in case I've missed something

I didn't describe it that well, sorry, it's not making the object visible in the window.

Draw a shape in the top left corner of page 1 and add an anchor. Go to the bottom right corner of page 2 and zoom in on it such that you can't see most of the page. Go to the anchor. Publisher will select the shape on page 1 but centre the page in the window so the object won't be visible since you're still zoomed in.

Thanks
