The steps above leave out the final step: "Undo". Otherwise, there are no systems at all :-)

Interesting bug. At the point when you deleted the measures, there *was* only the initial clef. So in one sense, "Undo" is doing exactly what it should - restoring things exactly as they were. Of course, in this particular case, it would make sense for it to *not* restore things exactly as they were, but instead exactly as they would have been had you been in Page View at the moment you deleted the measures. I'm not sure what the best solution is. One possible answer is for "Undo" to always force an additional layout. This could also provide a cheap fix for a couple of other issues - I'm thinking of #36266: All the Lines and Fretboard Diagram displayed twice after undoing move and #30081: Undo key signature doesn't work on second staff.
