I could find several "Undo is broken" bugs like bug 37405 bug none matched this exact issue. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a new Impress presentation 2. Draw a text area and type in a text 3. Edit/Select all (selects all text in the text area). 4. Edit/Cut. At this point the cursor is inside an empty text area. 5. Press Escape or click somewhere on the page. At this point the empty area is deleted. 6. Use Edit/Undo Result: Text area is NOT restored. If there were more events in the undo history, these are correctly undone. Just this text area disappeared from the Undo history. Variation Perform steps 1 and 2, then do the following: 2a. Click somewhere else in the page. 2b. Click inside the text area. 2c. Add more text inside the text area. Perform steps 4, 5, 6 as described above. Result: Undo unexpectedly restores the text area like it was after step 2, forgetting about all changes done at steps 2a, 2b, 2c.
I forgot to mention that the result of the variation bug, it can happen that the text area is not restored to the correct dimensions, being restored to some kind of "zero width" instead (text then appears one letter per line, like written vertically). I could not find a reproducible recipe for this specific occurrence but it happened several times during my tests.
Reproducible with LO 4.3.0.1, 4.2.5.2, 3.6.7.2 - Ubuntu 12.04 x86. Same behavior in AOO 4.1.0, I guess this is an old bug inherited from OOO.

Isn't that the standard behavior of textboxes? I mean an empty textboxes is always removed, also in Writer. => NAB
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #7) > ...NAB Ignore my comment. Undo is the question here.

I found that the text area is now restored (empty) after doing Undo, so I resolved as WORKSFORME There is still an issue that after point 6 of the instructions, further Undo forgot the text that was inside the area.
