Description jnoreiko 2004-03-09 11:48:58 UTC 
If I run a macro that performs several actions, and then do "undo", each action
is undone individually. To return to the state before I ran the macro, I have to
undo several times.

I would expect "undo" to undo the entire macro in one go. From the user's
perspective, a single action has been performed, thus one "undo" should reverse
that single action.

maxweber -> Developer: Could you please decide, if this should stay as "Defect"
or should be changed to "Enhancement"?
IMHO this is not a Defect, but could qualify as prioritized Enhancement, because
it would / could be easy to fix.

Found no DUPL.

Making this a feature, setting target OOo Later (according to the Q-PCD) and
reassign to bh for evaluation

Please read http://framework.openoffice.org/proposals/macro/macrorecording.html,
there's some information about the concept of the macro recorder and why this is
difficult.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
