Undo in Address Book?

If you repeat the steps I posted in my last post without the steps about going into edit mode you'll still get an non-undo-able erasure of all of your notes. At least that's what happens on mine. Seems when you use space or delete with all of the notes selected that it simply won't let you undo. Very obnoxious bug.

no, that's not possible. however, the undo button actually works on the last field even after the edit is saved.

P.S. the fact that undo has no memory besides the last action might be a bug. it certainly works better in other programs.

I must be doing something wrong if this is working for others. One way or another the undo seems completely broken to me.

To reproduce crazy behavior:
1. Make some notes of any kind on an address book entry.
2. Exit edit mode.
3. Re-enter edit mode and click on notes. (This will select all text.)
4. Push space or delete, causing entire note to be deleted.
5. Beg, plead, scream to your hearts content, but you'll never see your notes again.

If this isn't the way of things, I'd sure love to know what I'm missing. 😟

ok, I do see the same thing. however, I want to point out that there is no reason to enter edit mode to enter notes. they work in regular mode and then you can undo the changes although I first have to click 'redo edit properties". I'm not saying that undo works well - it doesn't but it works in certain situations.

I'm still mad that single-clicking anywhere in the notes field gets it all highlighted, but lucky for me, Cmd-Z has restored it - so far.

I'm super happy that the Cmd-Z has been fixed. Previously (about 10.4.midlife), it restored the address card to the original state when the machine was last booted.
Now that was ugly! 😟
If Apple would read their info@ mail like they did when I bought my Fat Mac, I could have complained to them, directly, instead of this forum. Does Apple data-mine the forums to learn what's happening?

Since the Cmd-Z got fixed, I've been walking on eggs for fear it would break again.

there is an "undo" option in Edit menu which (sort of) works on the last edited field.

no, that's not what I'm seeing. i can undo the last edit no matter how many characters I've entered. I do have to enter commandshiftZ first (redo edit property) and then it works.
