Undo does not undo accidental during note entry
If you enter a note with an accidental by pressing the accidental button then a note letter key and then change your mind, undo only seems to undo the last operation; the toggle status of the accidental is "remembered" .
For example:
In note entry mode
1. Press #
2. Press G
3. Result: G# is entered.
4. Press CTRL+Z or Alt+Backspace or the undo button
- Result: Note and accidental are removed.
- Press C
- Result C# is entered.
- Instead of step 5 press # then C
- Result: C without an accidental is entered. It does not matter if the duration is changed, you still get a C without an accidental.
This behaviour seems confusing (wrong?) to me, and is somewhat associated with another problem encountered since changing to prefixing accidentals during note entry

Since accidentals are now a toggle until the next note is pressed, this is actually consistent. If you choose a duration, press a note then undo, the note is undone but the duration remains. There is of course one minor difference, the duration will remain until a new duration is entered but the accidental only applies to a single note.

I must admit, I hardly ever look at the state of the duration buttons or the accidental buttons during note entry as I am usually touch typing (I have shortcuts for flat, sharp and natural). If I had looked I guess the behaviour would have been less surprising. Ah well, this old dog has another new trick to learn.

Me too on all counts. When you pointed out the undo, I had never looked at it before and was curious what happened if you undid a duration. I"m still getting used to the new way after years of the old.
