Feedback #18304
Editor: "Undo" also undoes control surfaces toggles if they were done before the thing you want to undo
Description
Stock game, all mods removed, just Squad folder left in GameData
Reproduce:
1. Add a root part;
2. Add a control surface to it (winglet/aileron);
3. Add a random object onto the root part
4. Modify pitch/yaw/roll/deflection on control surface;
5. Simulate missclicking by picking up the random object from step 3;
6. Realize your 'missclick' and press CTRL+Z;
7. Dump the still selected random object back into the parts tree;
8. Realize that that 'undo' also undid ALL the control surface tweaks you did in step 4 even though you just wanted to correct step 5.
In actual fact you'd be lucky to get to step 8. Rather, you'd be stuck thinking "I really thought I set these control surfaces up earlier!?" during flight.
Note: Setting up control surfaces, then removing a part, and then removing another part will also result in the control surfaces getting reset at the 2nd 'undo' where the first removed part was returned.

Thank you for the report.
Part attributes adjusted via the part action window are not subject to undo/redo. This was a design decision. This issue has been changed to feedback as a result.

If items in the PAW aren't supposed to be affected by undo/redo then I would most certainly see this as a bug as PAW settings currently are subject to redo. In a manner that makes no sense even.
