Similar bug with text boxes (I updated the title for a more general formulation).

1. Create a text area with some text inside.
2. Select some text and drag-and-drop it outside the area. At this point LibO automatically created another text area top contain the pasted text.
3. Edit/Undo.

Result: the text is indeed restored inside the original text area but the new text area which was automatically created by the drag-and-drop operation was not removed (it should have been removed).

Confirmed with 4.1.4.2 on Debian x86.

(This is an automated message.)

Setting priority to highest as this is a 4.1 MAB. This is part of an effort to make the importance of MAB reflected in priority too.

please retest against 4.2.4.2
if bug persists please move it to mab4.2 list since 4.1.x is EOL

Right now I can test with 4.2.3.3 and the bug persists, but I now noticed if you press a second time Edit/Undo then the action is properly undone. Which means 1) there is a workaround! 2) the bug can be reformulated as: one extra action gets inserted in the history, so the user needs a double undo to get read of it.

I can't test right now with 4.2.4.2 but only 4.2.3.3 (still it's a 4.2.x) so I'll test again when the version you were asking for becomes available in my distribution.

in the meantime I move it to mab4.2 list
close it if it works in 4.2.4.2 (but I think that's unlikely)

Created attachment 110562 [details]
testcase

bug confirmed under Win8.1 64bit using LibO 4.3.4.1 and 4.5.0.0 alpha

load the attached test case.
move slide 1 after slide 3, then click edit/undo.

moving this to mab4.3 list since 4.2.x is end of life

works fine in LO 3.6.7.2 
bug present in 4.0.4.2
nece this is a 4.0.x brach regression, needs bibisecting

It's not immediately obvious which commit in the above range could be at fault, and the regression is too old to conveniently build

There issue first appears in the range cbb599f657acc1953ef77d4f4fd895f75f9c7dad..22e54a9d0ee80b156ddb74a3d80330d48213ce9e, where there is some build breakage, but it seems probable that commit cbb599f657acc1953ef77d4f4fd895f75f9c7dad is the main issue here
