Hi Guys,

 

These days i am facing a weird problem in XD. Working for sometime on any XD file, i am not able to do CTRL+Z (Undo) not happening. I had to restart XD again.

 

Are you guys also facing this issue. Any solution to solve this issue.

 

By the way i am using Windows 10.

 

Thanks

This issue is getting worse and worse. I recently updated XD to the newest version and it still there. After 10 minutes working on a job, the Undo function stops working. Don't know how to fix it anymore... Reopen the XD, the Windows, and nothing...

I've migrated to windows and this happened in my case, too! 2 separate pcs, latest windows 10 with all updates, just can't undo anything, and there's no way to remap the undo action. This makes XD virtually unusable, which drives me insane since it's my main UI prototyping tool for many years. Please escalate this issue with QA, It's blocking the entire functionality

I've noticed that this might have something to do with auto keyboard layout switcher app and windows settings, but didn't yet test it our https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/ctrlz-not-working-in-any-application-windows-10/1d9b6b5d-08f4-4850-8a60-14b3135c6526

This is frustating as I just experience this today of not being able to undo on Adobe XD. I did update via Creative Cloud yesterday and this happens. 

 

Any solution for this?

Hi Franco,

 

Sorry to hear about the trouble. Along with the suggestion shared in this post, I'd also request you to observe a few more things like:

 

  1. Does restarting Adobe XD solves the issue?
  2. When this happens please check if it is the issue with just the shortcut or you are unable to undo manually by right-clicking?
  3. When this happens do you simultaneously work on any other application? This is just to check if there is any conflict with other apps?

 

We'll try to understand the pattern to investigate this further.

Hi there, i am also having the same problem on Windows since last update. Usually, it takes about an hour or so and then CTRL-Z just stops working. All other keyboard commands still work though.

 

1. Restarting XD solves the issue

2. When CTRL-Z stops working, Undo is also grayed out in the Context Menu and can not be used.

3. CTRL-Z keeps working in other applications (for example PS open at the same time)

Hi There,

Are you trying to say, using ctrl+Z you are not able to undo in XD.

Can you please confirm are you able to undo using same cmd in other application like wordpad etc?

Are you able to undo in XD by going to edit in menu and clicking on Undo?

I feel issue is not specific to XD, it may be happening with other app too.

Please share video, so i can help you more.

 

Thanks,

I've experienced this bug as well - really annoying!

The easiest fix that seems to work is to create a new project (but keeping the old one open), then simply copy all of the content from the old to the new project. Then you can carry on working normally while not losing any of your work.
