Using Ctrl-Z on a duplicated page still acts on the original page

Finally tracked down 2 issues that have been causing me problems for a while. 1) Ctrl/Cmd+Z undoes things on any page - not just the one you're currently looking at.  Which isn't necessarily a bug, but it doesn't seem to be documented anywhere and it's really good to know - since it'll silently revert some change you made on some other map without you necessarily realizing it if you're working on a couple different maps at once or are a bit overzealous trying to undo things.  A separate undo queue for each map would be ideal. ---- 2) This one is a proper bug. Ctrl/Cmd+Z does not work on pages that are duplicates of other pages.  This is annoying and I've reported it before. However! - What I just noticed is that Ctrl/Cmd+Z *does* do something - it's just messing with the original map. To replicate: 1) Drag a token onto a page. 2) Duplicate that page 3) Delete the token from the new page 4) Ctrl/Cmd+Z to undo the deletion - ideally restoring the token This does nothing on the new page - it's still white, the token is still gone.  Ctrl/Cmd+Z seemingly just didn't do anything (possibly prompting you to try a few more times, exacerbating issue 1 above).  However if you go back to the original page, you'll find you now have two copies of the token.  Undo restored the deleted token, it just restored it to the wrong page. (windows, chrome, no relevant plugins, will submit a help center request to the void)

I wonder if this is a browser thing... When I first tried to replicate your steps, it didn't work for me, because I used the right click menu to delete the token.  Control + Z doesn't restore a token deleted with the vtt controls at all.  When hitting the delete key to remove the token, I can duplicate your result.  It does make me wonder, though, if this isn't a feature of Roll20, but a browser/OS function that gets confused with the duplicate pages.

For what it’s worth, I can replicate it with right-click delete as well. That could be some other silliness.  I noticed that if you edit a token and save the settings, ctrl-z doesn’t work until you deselect the token.  Also sometimes GM notes don’t undo and sometimes they do.  I couldn’t find anything especially repeatable enough there to really figure out what was going on and stopped caring after a bit.  And its also a but hard to know when you’ve hit ctrl-z enough times to trigger whatever you’re trying to test when lots of random stuff adds extra actions to the undo queue.  Just dragging the token slightly when you select it (even if it snaps back) counts as something to be undone and can happen really easily. I don’t like it though.  Cause it means what is ostensibly a completely new token on a new page is still referencing a different token on a different page in a way it shouldn’t be.  And who knows what else that is breaking.  Does this cause turn tracker issues or explorer mode issues of some sort as well?
