Seriously... what is up with UNDO? It breaks everything half the time.

You have several items on the page, full screen this, full screen that, this over here, you resize one thing. OOPS. UNDO.
KABOOM - Your ENTIRE LAYOUT is TRASHED. Everything has been resized down to 1/20th of it's original size, off to the side and it's not an easy fix usually.
Sometimes, it's one rogue element that got resized on the UNDO that wasn't supposed to and it's now 10 times it's size (maybe it was Shrunk-To-Fit) but the point is, UNDO is NOT UNDO. It's WILDCARD.

This has been a problem for YEARS and yet it still exists?!

Are you using groups in your scenes?

Yes. I've tried locking both the internal elements and the group itself. Doesn't help. Still resizes elements that were resized originally but not part of the UNDO, even if they're locked.

Did you try without your elements in groups at all?

I believe I did which is why I started grouping thinking this would get fixed but I'll try that again... problem with that is groups really help in content creation across scenes as I switch to different layouts but with some same elements (groups) in them. Change one, they all change - now that would mean... ugh... haha

Nested scenes provide similar functionality to groups with less of the inconsistencies in behavior.

it's just an undo...

"Undo" in programming is complex thing that requires skills.

It would be nice to describe the problem in details, step by step, and link here issue from the github (or create new one if nobody did this before).

Not sure how this isn't a known thing... It does it on 3 different platforms. Just resize something to fit the screen be it too big or too small to begin with, add stuff, move stuff around, resize stuff. Hit undo just once and watch your whole display shrink down and go haywire...

I'll try and make a video of it.

From the given description (at the start of the thread) I din't found related bug report that could help to resolve the issue. So, it's only management - all issues should have clear description and be documented, sorted. Maybe the problem is well known, but new developers coming in and see no old problems that were known to somebody in the past...

OK. If the setup is very complex or issue is hardware or OS specific then the OBS log-file will be required too.
