Under non-gtk3 this works as always. GtkEntry doesn't (in gtk3) have a undo feature: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/1690 though gtk4 apparently will
Added a link to the same request for the Hyperlink dialog - where I've also speculated it's a GTK issue. Now, GTK4 is released, so - what's the plan?
what's the plan?, well you can try the current gtk4 if you want, it is a work in progress so a lot doesn't work yet.
Created attachment 184538 [details] demo of built in undo/redo in gtk4
*** Bug 147783 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
So, The state of GTK bug 1690 is WONTFIX, with the solution being: Switch to GTK4. So as far as GNOME is concerned, that's the solution. Now, Caolan writes that switches to GTK4 is a work in progress - which is obviously a legitimate state of affairs; but it is our (= LO project's) work to undertake. IIANM, the GTK4 port is tracked in bug 147151. So, it seems like this would be resolved when that's done. Consequently, I believe the correct state of this bug is open and being dependent on 147151.
as seen in the little video above this works right now in the gtk4 port so there isn't anything additional in the gtk4 port needed for this particular issue
