The Redo action (Shift+Ctrl+Z) does not recover the text. Even if Redo did recover the text, it would be easy to lose the text if more text were typed after the undo. Workaround: Enter text into a separate text editing application, then copy and paste the text in. This avoids accidental loss of text. Proposed Solutions: Disable Undo while the "Text and Font" dialog (Text tab ) text entry dialog, has keyboard focus. Or, if Undo is pressed, alert the user of the loss of data with a Yes/No dialog.
