Problem with Undoing

November 29 (7 years ago)
Hello, I’m having a problem with undoing.

I’m not sure whether this was intended by the developers, but, for me, “undo”s cannot undo more than one action. This is often extremely problematic.

Example:
1. Without realizing it, I accidentally delete a tediously designed castle from my map.
2. I drag an orc token onto the map.
3. I realize I have accidentally deleted the castle, so I use “command + z” (undo).
4. My action of moving the orc token onto the map is undone—as it should be.
5. I use “command + z” a second time, hoping to undo the deletion of my castle.
6. Instead, my action of moving the orc token is simply redone. (It undoes my “undo.”)

It seems that once I have pressed “delete” and begin to do anything else, whatever I deleted—anything more than one action prior—cannot be undone. This can be rather frustrating.

I am however, able to undo multiple times while using one of the polygon tools (Polygon/Line or Polygon Reveal). This makes me think my inability to undo other functions multiple times (without simply redoing) is unintended by the developers.

Is there any way we can have the “normal” undo and redo commands and have them compound multiple times? “command + z” (Mac) and “control + z” (Windows) for undo and “shift + command + z” (Mac) and “shift + control + z” (Windows) for redo?

Let me know what you think and whether anyone else is having this problem.

Thank you!

I also had the problem with accidently deleting the vision blocking layer on a module... half the map vision blocking gone... and then unable to undo it. very frustrating.

Ugh, that does sound irksome. I should've mentioned that, too: There are some actions I am simply unable to undo. Moving objects between layers, for example. That one’s not a big deal for me, because I can usually just reselect the object and move it back to the appropriate layer, but there have been a few occasions in which I have several objects spread out on the DM layer, I want to move them to the map layer, but I accidentally move them to the token layer (or something like that). Reselecting them then becomes tedious because the objects are now mixed in with my token-layer objects. I can deal with this, but . . . yeah, a bit frustrating.

P.S. I don’t mean to be overcritical. I really do love Roll20. (: There are just little bugs/quirks that I would like to see fixed.
