Step Backwards undoes Layer Selection
Stepping backwards will often times undo a layer selection. This gets messy. I will select a layer, make a modification, then step backwards. It will then select back to the previous layer I had. It's terribly frustrating and disorienting.
I work with several others who run into the same problem. If this is a 'feature' of step backwards, I highly recommend adding multiple undo options and keep them separate from step backwards.
Thanks for listening!

Undo = 2 states back.
Say I am on any given layer initially.
Then, i select one of my layers with the autoselect (v), then make one brush stroke to paint on it.
If i hit undo, it undo my brush stroke AND takes me back to my initial layer (not the one i was wanting to paint on.
Why is undo doing this and how can i solve it ?

Now, i understand that it is linked to 2 different behaviours:
Undo Vs Step Backward
Undo does not take the change of layer as an action, so it has the right behaviour i want
Now, the problem seem to be that it is not possible to make multiple Undo's! I don't really get why that is, but i would rather be able to do that.
Edit: I found this post:

It seems that this script could fix the issue:

To install the script:
1*Download it from:
http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/35...
2*Put it in the photoshop folder:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\Presets\Scripts
It is probable that you can put it whenever you want, i don't know.
3*In photoshop, go to File - Scripts - Script Events Manager
4*In the down part of this window, open the dropdown menu of "scripts", choose "Browse", it is all the way down
5*Go to the file at the location described in the second step
6*Clic "Done"
7*Go to Edit - Keyboard Shortcuts Or use the shortcut alt shift ctrl K
8*The shortcut you want to assign is in the Application menus - File - Script (search a bit, the name is "StepBackwardSmart")
Voilà !
