#Map Editor Issue - Undo/Redo Functionality is Weird

When I place an item, and I want to remove it via undoing, I am required to repeat the action 3 times in a row to remove it. Doing so prevents me from using redo to bring back items previously removed.
Using undo/redo on blocks behaves as expected, but when there are blocks AND items in the undo/redo history, it can prevent me from using redo to bring back blocks.
Another odd thing is the undo/redo behaviour in the scenario:

  • Place multiple items.
  • Do the undo action 3 times to remove the last item placed.
  • Do the undo action once/twice - the item is not removed in this case.
  • Do the redo action twice/once - this brings back the previously removed item.
    I have tried restarting the game, and tested it on a fresh map, but it always behaves the same.

General rule of thumb:
Don't use the redo/undo feature if you can achieve the same with just deleting/placing blocks/items again instead.

Another factor to consider:
Undo/Redo will take some mediatracker and other non-block/item placement related actions into the history as well with you possibly not noticing them being reverted after undoing so.
