Ctrl z (undo) not working

Post by Debskinner »

Hi
In the last couple of days I have noticed that ctrl z or edit/undo is not working. If I have, for instance, accidentally clicked delete on an email, previously this would restore it. No longer working
TB45.3.0
Win 10 home (anniversary update not installed - install not working- message "waiting for download")
16GB RAM
Thanks

Working here okay.

Have you tried running in Mozilla Safe Mode? This is a troubleshooting mode which will run with default theme and with all extensions and a few other things disabled. If the problem clears up under Safe Mode, you'll know there is a good chance the problem is with a theme or extension.

Now you can investigate which one is the problem by disabling one or more at a time and restarting the program. When the problem clears up, you'll know it is caused by one of the disabled ones, and you can refine further.

Hi
Disabled Lightning (didn't know it was enabled as I know that I have previously disabled it) & ctrl z now working!
Thanks. Hadn't thought of add-ons as I don't really use them in TB, only FF

I had the same problem.

I can confirm that disabling Lightning worked for me, too.

Thanks for reporting back with your solution!
