However, I think a way-more fundamental UNDO/REDO problem is its core non-functionality, whether that is achieved through a key-press or a GUI button click. For years now UNDO/REDO will only undo or redo _some_ things in Flash. My current CS4 installation won't let me undo adding a guide, say, or arbitrarily prevents me from undoing some actionscript edits if I flick back to the canvas. Despite redo/undo functionality in other Adobe products being quite good, Flash still suffers - the Flash Undo Button is a "waste of space" in more ways than one! All good points!

Is it the lack of a decent Undo Button? Is it the pricing structure? Is it because they've lost touch with their users? Leave a comment [...] [...] why do you think CS4 isn’t selling?

You could rent all that wide open space out for grazing rights, build a ranch on it, and still have room for an Output panel or two! ;) Here's what I don't get, you (the figurative you) pay a few hundred for a new monitor and complain when 2 or 3 pixels are D.O.A. but when you spend a few hundred dollars for an applications and it lays waste to hundreds upon hundreds of pixels, it's accepted as standard practice. What's up with that? Gah! You could rent all that wide open space out for grazing rights, build a ranch on it, and still have room for an Output panel or two! ;)
