If I type [ctrl] Z I have strange behaviers. The UNDO is made on something that is not the last command. Is it a known issue or am I mistaking?

Yea, I know what you mean. Sometimes I ctrl-z and my chords disappear. I manually correct everything.
I would like to know also.

Version 2010 added multiple levels of Undo, so there may have been some changes related to this. Which version of BIAB do you each have? And Sergino, what is 2009a?

2009a was my previous release of BIAB. I have Biab 2010 since the first day!
Another way to lose Chords is using the Reduce Expand options!

OK, could you list the exact steps you are taking, what happens, and what you think should have happened, so we can try to duplicate it?

IM running 2010.

umm.. whats to duplicate. Ctrl-z.
I just did it now out of habit and I had deleted previous chords and arrangements only to have it all come back and no way to redo it back.
The worse part is... I cant remember all I did before ctrlz. lol

Maybe that's why I've gotten into the habit of using the mouse instead of ctrl-z for the Undos.

I can see what the Undo is gonna Undo before I do the do.

For what I understand the undo gets back to some of the old passages, but not all of them are in the list of "undo-able" passages.

One thing is certain: it happens only in rare occasions and
it is related to something new in Biab 2010 as I had no problem from old Biab 9 to former Biab 2009a.

We did not even have Unlimited Undo until 2010.

Previous versions, all we could Undo was the last move, and sometimes that was also an iffy situation...

Hi,

Ctrl+Z works correctly in my testing. I created a song by typing in 32 bars of chords, then I press Ctrl+Z multiple times and it removed one chord at a time, until I had a blank chord sheet again. If there is a specific combination of events that leads to something different happening, please let us know the next time it happens.

Ok, I will let you know the next time it happens.

Surely was a combination of copy-paste of chords and "p" keys pressings.
If I found some spare time I will try to reproduce it.

I've had some strange behaviors in the chord sheet when running BIAB in less than full screen. Things get overlapped, disappear and the black highlight bar gets out of place. Are you by chance running BIAB in a window when these strange things happen?

I now have an example.
The first is my last save of the file.
Right after the first saving the only thing I made was ctrl Z and the result is in the second file.
How can I send both the files to you?

My chords dissapear sometimes too when doing a Ctr+Z.
But these are the things we are used to with BB. As much as I love this programm, but it never really worked bugfree.

Another issue I`ve been having from the first BB version I owned (2004) until today is:
Sometimes, when I open one of my files a blank sheet appears and a diolog asks me if I want to save my "new work". If you click "yes" too easily, you lose the whole song, because only the shown blank sheet is being saved.

That`s BB. Pick a flower and say: BB loves me, BB hates me, BB loves me, BB hates me,...
