WinDoor 13 bug - can't undo

[petensen]

Hi, I have a problem with WinDoor 13 in VW08. Something happens to the WinDoor objects; one day they are fine, the next they're not.

The problem: When I select a WinDoor object I lose my undos. No changes to any of the parameters of WinDoor objects can be undone. Also, nothing that I've done previous to selecting the WinDoor object can be undone, whether it involves a WinDoor object or not.

It's like the undo history is deleted. However, I don't think this is the case, as I don't get the "No undo history" message in the Message Bar when I try to undo. I get a message saying "Undo", but nothing happens except the WinDoor object 'flashes'.

Example: If I move a rectangle, and then select a WinDoor object, I cannot undo the move of the rectangle. But if I de-select the WinDoor object, then move the rectangle again, I am able to undo the (second) move of the rectangle.

I have tried the following workarounds with no success:

- selecting 'Undo' command in 'Edit' menu instead of apple-z

- save as to new document

- copy WinDoor object into new document

The only workaround that works is to delete and re-create all the WinDoor objects in the file, which sucks.

I had this happen to me a couple of weeks ago. I re-created all the WinDoor objects and the document was fine - until today, when the problem has recurred. I don't want to have to do this every fortnight!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

(NB: The problem is happening with WinDoor objects that are not inserted into walls. I have not noticed the problem with WinDoor objects that are inserted into walls.)
