It's not surprising that UNDO does nothing, as the undo list is a memory structure that has to be maintained by the code behind the editing operations done on a file. That is, when you nudge an articulation, the code behind that action (which accepts your keystroke and converts it into an onscreen response and determines what that means for the position of the articulation and what needs to be stored about the articultion's position) also writes data to the internal UNDO buffer so that this action can be rolled back if you choose to. This bug obviously is not happening in any of the editing routines that populate the UNDO buffer. It's just corrupting the data structures, so there is nothing in the UNDO list about this happening. This is to be expected as it's not really a valid transaction against the database -- it's an actual corruption of the structure of the database itself. -- David W.
