Adam Reichold proposed the following answer:
Hello Suganthan,

you do indeed seem to describe the intended behavior even though skip
forward and next page do not do the same thing. The
first/previous/next/last page commands skip to the desired page, but at
the same position relative to the page as with the current page, i.e. if
you are at the middle of page 5 and go to the first page, you will end
up on the middle of the first page. Skip forward/backward on the other
hand will move the current view by a single screen thereby likely
changing the position relative to the page itself.

We hand long discussions when that behavior was implemented and I can
understand that it might not be everyone's favorite way of doing this.
IIRC, this way was chosen as it works best for multi-column layouts and
so on.

It should be possible to make this configurable, i.e. always jump the
beginning of a page when using the first/previous/next/last page
commands.

Best regards,
Adam
