Edit menu undo function shows wrong operation

[AJF]

I was wondering if anyone else has seen this error in the edit menu. I’ve noticed when I copy an object whether it’s vector or a grayscale object and then decide to undo the operation the copy operation is actually listed as a move. When it first happened, I thought I had mistakenly done a move and not a copy. However, I tried it several times and it always lists a copy as a move in the undo function.

I normally do the cntl+Z to undo.

• 1.)But I did selected a component. right clicked, copied and pasted.(didn't move it)
  Looked at the edit menu and the cntl+z was Undo Copied Component
• 2.)selected a component. clicked twice until bounding box appeard. press & hold CNTL down while using the mouse to move selected component. (this makes a copy)
  Looked at edit menu and the cntl+z was Undo Move.
• 3.)Selected coponent clicked twice until bounding box appeard and then moved with mouse.
  Looked at edit menu and the cntl+z was Undo Move.

How are you doing the move/copy?

When I first noticed this I was going through the Eagle Head tutorial and was actually following the instructions to copy a grayscale object (which is the second method you indicated in your reply). I wanted to repeat the procedure, to insure I understood what I was doing and that was when I noticed I was undoing a move and not a copy, which made me think I had done something wrong even though it looked correct on the screen and the tutorial had called the procedure a copy not a move.

[*] 2.)selected a component. clicked twice until bounding box appeard. press & hold CNTL down while using the mouse to move selected component. (this makes a copy)
Looked at edit menu and the cntl+z was Undo Move.

If you use the Drag with control method, you are creating a copy and then dragging it (moving it) into the required position. The last operation was the move, so this is why the undo operation show undo move. As the two operations were performed together they will be undone together.
