Undo doesn't work after saving

[in-in]

First of all, thank you for excellent IDE.

I use Csscomb to formatting my Sass code but this plugin "CSScomb Brackets" not allow to use my own configuration (.csscomb.json). So I started to use grunt-csscomb this work well for me, but after formatting I lose undo history. Do I have any chance to fix it. Thank you anyway.

For information, I used the same process with Sublime Text and I can use Undo history with it. I also tried run Brackets without plugins and get same bad experience.

OS: Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon 64-bit Brackets: 1.2 experimental build 1.2.0-15697 (release 8f82e2a97)

@in-in Brackets do not maintain the undo history if the file is modified by some other process.We have similar item in backlog to remember the undo history. Please upvote it here

As a stop-gap workaround you could try replacing the CSScomb Brackets-extensions config-file with your own (It's located at ..\Brackets\extensions\user\csscomb-brackets\node_modules\csscomb\config). Sadly that doesn't really work project-by-project basis but you could try filing an issue to hano/csscomb-brackets.

I've found that undo-after-save normally works, except it sometimes stops working. I've not nailed down the exact instance of what causes it, but my first test succeeded to make it stop working only once.

It was the process of ...

• do something
• ctrl-s save
• ctrl-z undo
• ctrl-s save
• ctrl-y redo
• ctrl-s save

And then ctrl-z redo didn't work. But as said this only provoked the failure 1 time. I did the above immediately after opening a file. I've tried it several times since, but to no avail.

I shall keep an eye out for further info.
