Undo has bad behavior

Why does Mail's Edit->Undo functionality work so poorly? It used to work just as I would expect it to. (Before Leopard? before 10.5.7? I don't remember.) Far worse is that Edit->Redo doesn't actually restore the message to where it was before executing Edit->Undo!
Previous functionality: I think Undo sent back to the last time I had typed the delete key. (Or it went word by word, but maybe I'm just thinking of Microsoft Word.) Maybe it went back to the last return key pressed, too. Not sure. But it really made good sense.
Current functionality: Goes back some amazingly large number of key presses, including delete keys, etc. It's terrible, never what I want.
Is there any way to get back the previous functionality? And/or is it just my Mac's problem?
Thanks!

Hi,

  • Make "step backward" command maintain current layer selection (like the "undo" command's behavior)...

    Please make Photoshop's "step backward" command maintain current layer selection (like the "undo" command's behavior). So that when using the "step backward" to undo something it doesn't unnecessarily select a different layer . The current "step backward" layer change issue is inconvenient because it causes unnexpected layer selection change.

    Has this happened yet ( an upgrade that fixes the step back layer switch problem ) in any updates?
    Arghhh very annoying.

  • BAD BEHAVIOR

    Came in this morning to find 40 emails from last night never sent.
    Why?  Because in its vaunted wisdom, Verizon decided that one of my completely innocent emails was 'spam'.
    OK, fair enough, even though your algorithm must be completely brain-dead.
    So what did it do?  Shut down sending all my OTHER emails.
    That's completely stupid, folks.
    And it didn't have the courtesy to email me that it had done this, so I went on assuming my system was functioning normally.
    These stupid proclivities of the emailing system are BUSINESS DAMAGING AND UNACCEPTABLE.

    Incidentally, my OTHER ISP has no trouble with most of what Verizon buggers

    I did Hotmail help and their response was ''''I advise you to optimize your browser. If you have a browser that’s not Internet Explorer, you can visit its Help section.''''
    How do I optimize Firefox 3.6.12?

  • My exported 2015 iMovie file has bad quality.

    Hello.
    I just got a new MacBook pro, OS X Yosemite 10.10.3.  Using iMovie 10.0.7 (the latest version to my knowledge.)
    I realize that this question has been beaten to death all over the internet, but I haven't made any headway STILL.  I just completed an edit that looks AMAZING in iMovie, and when I export it, the file is very distorted.  I'm exporting at the highest quality (1080p) and the file ends up being 8GB (8 minute movie) which I would think a big file like that would produce good quality.
    I'm stuck.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
    Here's the upload (notice the distortion and grainy-ness during motion, again looks AMAZING in iMovie.)

    iMovie file has bad quality.
    hmmm, really?
    I pick up a scene ...
    <click for fullsize>
    This is a 'killer' for any encoder! Those ultra-soft gradient in the sky shows no banding!
    Not to say: superb! Compare to a less encoded version:
    <click for fullsize>
    you see? THAT is bad quality! Tons of banding in the sky...
    ... post a scene, which doesn't fullfill your standards …
    btw: what camera in use? settings? a GoPro I assume, those 'cinema' settings?
    PS: you let YT play it in as 720/1080? ....

    I do not know at the moment. I will inquire. Thanks for trying to answer.
    It almost seems like a framework bug. I get the feelling that the framework is getting maxed out with this form, and acting weird in all kinds of ways. But we are not really seeing any errors in all the logs.

  • Ipod touch has bad battery and suddenly turns off

    Ipod touch has bad battery and suddenly turns off but only works when its on a dock with speaker...
    any advice on what to do, because i am thining of getting the battery replace

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • On v880 : "metadb:  has bad master block on device"

    Hi,
     In my production environment I have a v880 server.  While I was trying to replace a bad disk I had the
    message:   metadb: oradb1: has bad master block on device, when I ran the metadb -a -f -c3 /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s5 
    I can not find any information on the internet. Also, I have seen the thread https://community.oracle.com/thread/1918834, which is very old.
    According to the thread I have to split all the submirrors and create the mirrors again. That is very difficult for me to do it, because I have mounted volumes.
    Any ideas?
    Regards,
    Panos

    OK - after talking with a very knowledgable/helpful guy in Sun's storage group, the problem is solved. It turned out that since the new disk had a different DevID, the mirror did not get correctly restored. The solution was to do the following (note: d23 is the slice where I was trying to create the state db):
    # metaclear d23
    # metadb -a -c 2 c1t11d0s7
    # metattach d3 d23
    He also referred me to doc 73132
    Thanks Dan!

    if it has a bad imei there is no way to clear it, you can attempt to call your carrier if you havent already done so to see if there is a way to confirm that the imei you have is the correct one to get it of the black list but this is an attempt not sure if they can do it

  • FF 9.01 has bizzare behavior, sever not found, sites look wrong, left tab back, failed sign ons, etc.

    '''Moderator edit: Locked, duplicate of [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/910533 910533]'''
    '''Anyone else having problems with FF 9.0.1? I mean multiple, strange problems! Ever since I upgraded to this latest version of Firefox 9.0.1, I have frequent "server not found" on common web sites like www.google.com, www.amazon.com, www.tvguide.com, etc.
    All these problem are frequent but inconsistent. Happens most, but not all of the time. Repeated attempts to execute a site url will, eventually (usually) get a good response.
    Further, when pages are found, they open up looking wrong - unformatted text, no graphics, missing html commands, etc.
    Also, on several sites, I am unable to sign on or exchange information/data. Logons are not accepted, fail or are repeated over and over, responses not recognized, etc. This seems to especially true for Yahoo and ATT web sights.
    Lastly, just to add insult to injury, that damnable left side tab on my Google home page (igoogle) is BACK!!
    Switching to Chrome and/or IE eliminates these problems, but I still prefer FF!
    '''I have reviewed the articles here and tried several alterations on the config page, but nothing has helped.'''
    I have flushed my cache, cookies, history with no benefit! I have also, as I am now, started FF in safe mode band EVEN in SAFE MODE, with EVERYTHING disabled, I still get the bizzare responses and the left tab is still back.
    Is there a way to reload FF completely with every thing set as itv it was BEFORE the last upgrade or to go back to an earlier version? What is it about 9.0.1 that is causing all these problems?
    BTW, incidently, aabout the same time as upgrading FF, I also switched from Comcast cable ISP to ATT DSL ISP at a even higher speed - 18.0 Mbps. Not sure if that matters; I think the behavior was evident BEFORE the switch over.
    Any ideas or suggestions? Are the setting in my config under "useragent" correct? The Ivp6 settings?
    Your help would be greatly appreciated!
    Bob Woolf'''

    '''Cor-el,
    I think it's time to bring some of those kryptonian super powers of yours in to play! :)
    Yes, I am still having problems. I tried to load in the online site for my bank, Navy Federal Credit Union. I got the old "server not found" BS. I did as you suggested and executed a SHIFTED Reload and that worked, at least in the since that I was able to get the opening page.
    However, when I went to sign on, the trouble appeared. Similar to the failed logons and recycling sign ons that I had seen on Yahoo and a few other sites, WHEN I logged onto NFCU's page (they have an unusual three part logon), as soon as I sign on I am IMMEDIATELY told I have "timed out" on the session and am kicked off. Repeated attempts to access my account yields the same thing over and over. I tried to sign on using Internet Explorer and there was NO PROBLEM AT ALL, so the issue is specific to FF.
    I then flushed the cache and retied; no luck. I tried SAFE MODE and again no luck. I then went in a flushed the cache, again, and deleted all associated cookies. Again no luck.
    Then I flushed the cache, reset ALL the preferences and tried again, still no luck.
    As it stands now, I have reset the USERAGENT entries, flushed the cache, reset the preferences and, removed the cookies and still, EVEN in SAFE mode, Firefox and NFCU can't get along. Neither can Yahoo.com!
    So, after all that,I am at my wits end. Suggestions? Should I send you a refreshed copy of my troubleshooting dump?
    Keep in mine that I have, up until 9.0.1 came out, been using FF to aces s all these sites without any problems. So I guess the question has to be: Exactly what was changed in 9.0.1 from the previous version that has made it act this way?
    Ideas? Suggestions? Fixing this has become a full time job!
