What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Make a bunch of changes to a dataset
2. Roll back the changes in using Undo/Redo
3. At one point in the history, click on "Edit Rows." Then click "Flag Rows"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
After the point in my history where I clicked "Flag Rows", the changes I made 
were deleted. I could not move forward in my history to return to the end point 
of my work.

Version 2.0 [r1836]

What operating system and browser are you using?

MAC, chrome

Is this problem specific to the type of browser you're using or it happens
in all the browsers you tried?

I believe the current mode of operation is intentional since there's no easy 
way of knowing whether the change made by the user invalidates later operations 
in the history.

If your sure that the change you want to make is isolated, you could export the 
operation history, make the change in an editor, and then re-import the history.

I'll leave this open for now, but I wouldn't expect any changes in this area in 
the near future.
