Re: [libreoffice-users] limited undo.

Hello,

The size of the undo buffer seems controlled by a property that is
accessible in the Advanced settings (via options). Look for

org.openoffice.Office.Common

and then look for the property Undo and change the value of Steps.

My setup has 100 as number of steps which, like you point, out may be
insufficient for remembering the typing of 6 lines of text. You could
probably increase that number to some higher number (I have not tried
it myself so you will be in uncharted territory) to have a larger undo
buffer and this way be able to undo more steps (you may have to restart
LO at that point for it to use the new value). Note that this will have
an impact on memory usage and maybe on global performance depending on
the system you use to run LO.

I hope this helps.

Rémy Gauthier.
