  Uncontrollable undo!

  Posted by Greg C neumayer on March 3, 2016 at 5:46 am

  Strange behavior!?

  I’ve been working on my project for about 15 minutes (just short enough NOT to be auto-saved, unfortunately), and suddenly I saw everything reverting step by step as if a ghost hand pressed Undo repeatedly. It did this for about 10 sec. After freaking out for 5 seconds I spent the latter 5 seconds trying to hit escape or anything that might stop the undoing of all my work. It was freaky. No option to redo. No undo history.

  Anyone else have this experience? I’ve never seen it before. (CC2015.2, Mac)

  LOL. Yeah, I recently (1/16) started using this 13.7 release. It works well for me, and I do like the new improvements to ram previews. Overall, general rendering seems faster as well, despite feeling like I’m missing something because I don’t see the familiar “multiprocessing” any more.

  But the previous version from Summer ’15… whew. Yeah, that one wasn’t even usable for me. No visual render update, no “hand” tool on a 2nd monitor, etc. It’s much improved since then.

  I’m sure it’s not easy for Adobe devs who have to balance firm “release dates” with cross-app compatibility. Concurrent suite releases likely make it easier to design cross-app features, but I’m sure it creates a dis-incentive for just pushing stuff out the door, ready or not!
