Undo history issue when drag-copying leads to multiple erroneous duplicates


Recommended Posts

Noticed a frustrating issue in Designer. Description below; .gif attached.

 

When I duplicate and move an object by option- or command-dragging, and then I undo, I often wind up with a "stack" of erroneous duplicates in the object's original position. This can be hard to notice, and often results in a cluttered layers panel and a heavy document. 

 

The issue here is that in other apps, the convention is that option-dragging is a single command, which is entirely cancelled by an undo. But in Designer, an option-drag is actually two commands: there is an implicit copy at first, and then a translation. Undo only reverses the translation, not the copy. It's hard to remember to undo twice when I've only performed one action, and the resulting pileup of artwork is easy to miss. 

 

 

Thanks a ton, Serif—I love Designer, and you guys are just amazing!
