[1.1.35] Using undo (ctrl+z) while a textbox has focus, will undo build actions rather than text changes

Post by Lilly »

Version: Factorio 1.1.35 (build 58756, linux64, steam)
How to reproduce
  1. Build a constant combinator
  2. configure a value
  3. focus the text box
  4. enter a value
  5. hit ctrl+z
What happens
The constant combinator is marked for removal

There is no redo function, so trying to remedy this error by hitting ctrl+shift+z causes another undo to be performed, making matters worse.
What is expected
Entering the value is undone. Optional, would be nice, but this is not the main issue.

The constant combinator is not marked for removal. I.e. suppress the undo shortcut (or any shortcut) while a text box has focus.

Hello, thanks for the report, but we don't have any undo mechanics for text edit, and it is not planned to be done any time soon, so I'm going to move this report to not a bug.

I think the main problem here is the unexpected behavior. Maybe blocking undo while a textbox is open/selected would be good?
