Description Alan Horkan 2005-05-27 13:00:55 UTC 
without even thinking I deleted some text and pressed Ctrl+Z in an attempt to
undo it and was sorely disappointed that I didn't even have one level of undo in
Sticky notes.  

it would be great if stick notes had even basic undo support.

I'd too like to have undo support for sticky notes.
Comment 2 Henrique Rodrigues 2010-04-13 16:03:08 UTC 
I've also been harmed by this. I really can't understand the reasoning why GNOME's Sticky Tools don't have undo support.
Comment 3 Henrique Rodrigues 2011-01-26 16:24:02 UTC 
It's true, data loss happened to me too. I'm almost afraid to use sticky notes now. This bug shouldn't have status UNCONFIRMED.
Comment 4 Austin Beer 2012-03-19 16:14:58 UTC 
I agree that it would be very, very nice to have undo/redo functionality built into GNOME's Sticky Notes applet. I haven't found any other application that integrates into GNOME's desktop the same way that Sticky Notes does, so I like using it. But not having undo/redo functionality is dangerous. It's too easy to permanently erase something important.
Comment 5 Henrique Rodrigues 2012-03-19 17:04:23 UTC 
I think this bug will never be fixed. GNOME 3 doesn't even have the lovely sticky notes that some of us love so much.

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all
old feature requests in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years.

If you still use gnome-applets and if you are still requesting this feature in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-applets/-/issues/

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be implemented.
