Trying to reproduce, but struggling to understand what you mean with "text toolbar".

Can change font style in the inspector though, which is positioned to the right of the window by default, not at the bottom. Undo works as it should for me then.

Inspector is to the right, navigator at the bottom so I guess you mean that. The text toolbar is at the bottom (left) too, if a text is in Edit mode

Yes indeed, mixed up the words navigator with inspector, thx for pointing out. Wonder how i could overlook that text toolbar all the time though, LOL.

Now i can clearly reproduce this - a notable hint for developers may be here that setting font to bold (w/o) going to editing mode via inspector also works and is undoable, while clicking the "bold" button in the inspector when in edit mode doesn't work as it loses the setting immediately again when leaving edit mode. Guess it would be good to have that behaviour harmonized / work as expected in every state and via each of the tools.

Linking to #303762: [EPIC] Collection of Undo issues as confirmed UNDO issue also.
