Hi *@Jeremy*, Thanks for pointing me to that issue on GitHub. I understand what you're saying about two actions canceling each other out, sure. But you also replied in that issue to *@giffmex*, to the effect that, if a tiddler is a state tiddler in $:/state then the core will "exclude it from the dirty handling". Why not move $:/HistoryList to $:/state/HistoryList to give it the same exclusion? After all, I would have thought that the history list, by its very existence, is part of the state of the wiki.
Kind regards, Hegart.
