Hello,

I can't tell you how many times I wanted to click the add (+) icon, only to miss and hit the minus instead...thus removing an item, feature or otherwise that was unintended. And, if I've been working within the OTD window for a while, before saving, and deleted something by mistake, my only recourse is to exit the OTD and undo from there. This, obviously, undoes all of my work and is subsequently, lost.

This is the same problem from within all other feature dialogs (pair adjustments, single Adj...).

Another real life example I've experienced is within the Class Manager dialog. Too often, I'll be editing several classes with the window open; one wrong move, and I'd have to exit the dialog and start again. An undo function would be helpful.

And speaking of the Class Manager: Wouldn't it be better to not have a glyph (class member) automatically highlight-selected when scrolling about the classes? This would further help avoid accidental deletion.

Undo Last...please?

That is why there is an Apply button. Use it from time to time, then you won't lose much work if you do make a mistake.

Yes, I do this as well. But you still run the risk of losing work. An undo function would help.
