I have no idea where to put this topic, so I'll leave it here...
Does anybody else experience this bug in Livecode where you just can't undo done things?
Here is short demonstration:

Hi.
"Undo" will indeed restore a control to its old position for me. And it will restore a name change in the inspector, provided I keep the text field in front when I invoke it. It will restore text in a field if, say, I cut it, and then immediately invoke it.
Only one level is supported, however it is used, that is, it will toggle the two most recent states.
Now this is on a Mac. What platform are you on?

Undo has been working well for me on Ubuntu, Mac, and Windows.
I was unable to view the video; the page notes an error.
What platform are you on? And can you describe what actions you were expecting to be undoable that are not?

Well I expect to undo accidental moving buttons, image backgrounds and stuff like that...
Here is the same video on OneDrive:

Undo works if you undo immediately after the action, but there is no multiple undo. Text edits will undo until the focus leaves the field, after that the edits are forgotten. Objects you move with the mouse will undo, but scripted movement will not. Importing images or other controls will not undo, but painting with a painting tool will undo. Menu selections (like "Place group") will not undo because those are scripted actions.
