Crop-Tool + delete = no undo

[Fritz_H]

• Open any image in Photo 2.4.1
• select the crop-tool
• press the backspace key
• the image-layer is deleted (why? makes no sense in this context)
• press ctrl-Z (undo) -> no effect
• press esc to cancel the crop tool -> no effect (Usability?)
• click cancel-button to quit crop tool
• NOW you can UNDO the layer-deletion

Although I can almost hear the voice of Serif telling me, that this behavior is intentional..

to me its just one more usability-flaw... one of far to many...

When you press the Backspace key you are deleting the layer which is selected, which is kind of expected, I suppose (maybe some people might want to do this while cropping).

But I would say that pressing Cancel should probably undo everything that was done with that ‘session’ of the Crop Tool, and the Undo should also work within that ‘session’ (unless there's a good reason no to).

So this looks, to me, like a mix of expected behaviour and something else.

@Fritz_H I've logged this as an improvement to the Crop Tool workflow.
