Ctrl+z Undoing Build Name Instead of Build

Support Bug Reports
1

Summary: When I use ctrl z while building, it’ll undo one step then start undoing in the title, even though that isn’t the next thing I did.

What I did: I created a build, named it and saved it as a template. I then placed the template and started editing it. Now whenever I go to undo with ctrl z, it’ll do one maybe two things then start undoing the text in the title of the build (again even though that hasn’t been changed since it was placed). If I click the undo at the top next to the eraser, it will undo more of the building edits. If I ctrl z, see it is undoing the text instead then click the actual undo button, it’ll leave the text edited.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Change the name of the building.
  2. Make changes to the building
  3. Start using the ctrl+z to undo.

Expected Results:
It’ll undo the building changes, at the very least up until the title change though preferably it would ignore the title change completely and continue undoing building related things.

Actual Results:
Undoes 1 or two things in the building then randomly undoes parts of the title change, even if the title change hadn’t happened recently.

Notes:

Attachments: If it’ll help, I do have a video of it happening.

This is a bit confusing, but whenever you interact with the building name box, even if you end up with the same value, it counts as a change in the undo system. While you undo, when you hit the step, the name box will be focused and further undo will refer to the box itself rather than the building system. We should probably fix it, but for now you can just exit the box by pressing Esc or clicking anywhere else to continue undoing in the building system.

seconding the suggestion to indeed ignore the naming box when un-doing. its not something that happens -that- often but especially for new players i could be vexing. (i only name my builds just before i save them myself to dodge this)

Well if that was always the case, I could easily avoid the problem. However, it is randomly deciding to undo the text stuff. For example: I change the name and then place 5 windows. I’d expect that I could undo 5 times before it would start undoing the typing but it often is undoing typing after only 1 Ctrl Z. And when it starts messing with the typing it’ll do it strangly like I change “5” to “inn” it’ll change it to something like “5n”
