Vic,

I was unable to use either function regardless what action was taken.  ie. after I drew a rectangle: the undo function was still disabled.  An old fashioned reboot this morning has seem to resolve my issue.

Thanks for your quick response.

This issue comes about after adjusting the opacity slider on an element in the fill or stroke pop-up. The only solution is to restart the app, which is a very common necessity. Adobe have been aware of this for  YEARS, and still haven't fixed the issue.

    Adobe XD has become completely useless to me, and I cannot rely on it anymore. The bug that has existed for FOUR years still hasn't been fixed. UNDO and REDO functions -> inactive; restarting/ rebooting doesn't help. I do not recommend Adobe XD unless you want to waste your time (like me at the moment)

      Same problem...after a while Undo Ctrl+Z does not work anymore.
      I don't need to reboot the whole system but only Restart Adobe XD. Just installed the lastest update but the problem is still there.

      Maybe this is related: also I cannot change/edit Adobe XD guideline positions once they are created.

      Both problems I have for the first time since I stared using Adobe XD in early 2020.

      Still a very common issue even after all these latest updates. It is becoming so annoying that it is almost not workable anymore. Having to reboot every 10 mins to get CTRL-Z working again. Having this issue for more than 2 years, really thinking of leaving Adobe alltogether for this. Adobe has to take this bug serious and FIX IT! or loose loyal customers.

            This was posted in 2016 and is STILL an issue. Why has this not been fixed Adobe? Restarted the software and it's working now. How does it take so many years to fix something that's so broken? I just lost 4 hours of work and unlike in the past, I can switch to Figma.

                I am STILL seeing this bug in adobe acrobat. Undo and Redo not working. No way to fix it. 

                How is a 4 year old bug still causing havoc like this to acrobat users worldwide? 

                PLEASE fix this problem.

                 

                Additionally, the 'Add note to replace text' tool is automatically set to 'locked' which means I have to go into the comment preferences and unlock it before I can delete it.

                  Hello,

                  I'm facing the same issue right now, and it happened suddenly!
                  I restarted my Mac several times, and restarted Adobe XD too and it is still not doing Copy/Paste or Undo/Redo.

                  Could anybody help please? I'm not being able to work anymore!

                  Thanks

                  Sandra

                    Hi Sandra,

                    We're sorry to hear you're having trouble using Copy/Paste or Undo/Redo in Adobe XD on mac. We'd like to know a few more details like:

                    • Could you please share the OS and XD version of your machine?
                    • Is it happening with all the files or with a specific file?

                    We'd also like to confirm if you've tried the suggestion mentioned by Preran and share the results with us.

                    Thanks,

                    Harshika

                    Hello Harshika,

                    My Adobe XD version: 21.2.12.3

                    My MacBook Pro specs:

                    MacOS Mojave 10.14.6

                    MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016)

                    Processor: 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7

                    Memory: 16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3

                    Graphics: Radeon Pro 455 2 GB

                                    Intel HD Graphics 530 1536 MB

                    I tried to un-install XD and re-install the older version, it didnt work; so I re-installed the "21.2.12.3" again, and now the "Copy-paste" is working sometimes on some components but it is still not working some other times and on other components... The "undo/redo" is not working at all.

                    yes, this is happening with all files.

                    Also i noticed now that even the "Save" is not working continuously.

                    yes I tried Preran suggestion and it didn't work.

                    Thanks

                    Sandra

                    I notice that happens when I open a Sketch file in XD. The Undo and Redo option becomes disabled.

                    ¡Hi!

                    We continue to have this issue. It is not always possible to reboot the system as I run several other programs. I prefer to continue working risking myself to not being able to undo my last changes. It also affect functionality on copy/paste with shortcuts (CTRL+C, CTRL+V). It simply does not paste the item.

                    Running version 9.0.12.19 over Windows 10 Pro 1803.

                      Same issue here: I cannot press the undo or redo buttons.

                      Document is 1.7mb, 44 screens, XD v7.0.12

                      MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)

                      Processor 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7

                      Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

                      Graphics Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB

                      I have a few symbols created that won't update/propagate either. Feels like the file could be corrupt? Creating a new copied file helps for a bit, doing some testing now.

                        Same problem here. I am unable to do an UNDO or REDO with the latest Adobe XD update. This is not getting resolved with multiple reboots as well and my symbols dont update as well across canvases.

                        I use a Macbook Pro and my Adobe XD CC is 10.0.12.9, Creative Cloud Sync 3.0.3.6

                        Please advice!

                        Thanks,

                          I'm having the same issue - worked to start with, now it's not feasible. Really frustrating. Such a basic facility that should function correctly.

                          @VickMitnik the friendly assistant who replied to the OP seems to have disappeared... anyone out there with a fix that doesn't involve a reboot?!
