Thanks for testing and being able to replicate.

I should have made a video to show the glitch more clearly, but at least now i know it's just not on my machine.

Thanks again.

Has anyone else noticed a strange behaviour with undo history when the Effects Panel is open?

Try this:

1. Have the layers, history and effects panel all visible at the same time.

2. open an image

3. duplicate the layer

4. make a new blank layer

5. grab the brush tool and paint two brush strokes on the new blank layer

6. go back to the duplicated layer below the blank layer and paint two brush strokes

7. in the history panel go back in the history states and watch the layers panel

Now close the effects panel

1. in the history panel select the last history state

2. go back in the history states

Notice a difference?

Photoshop elements 11 on a windows 8 x64 bit system.

I see the behavior and I'll log a bug report for it. Very strange, but good catch that it's the Effects panel that is the source!

27Prac, make sure the Effects panel is up, that is key. But I tested on both Windows and Mac and see it on each.

I tried the stesps and I did not get it. It seems working fine. What difference you want us to notice.
