Default Undo History, cannot remove last state

To me this looks like a bug, but since I'm sure that if it were a bug it would have been caught by someone by now (though I couldn't find anything in the forum), so I label it as a nitpick, for now.

In the Undo History, you cannot "Remove selected states from undo history (warning: cannot undo)" the top undo state.

Do the following:
1. Create a new project.
2. Insert three tracks.
3. Open the undo history.
4. Select the top three states.
5. Right-click and select "Remove selected states..."

It does not remove the selected states. It removes the selected states, bar the top one. Right-click the top state and try to "Remove selected states..." No go. You also cannot remove all undo states, one necessarily remains because of this bug/feature...

Is this really as it should be?

Yeah, this annoys me too.

Ten years later... we are still here.
The topmost undo state cannot be removed, irrespective of whether there are other undo states or not.



As you can see, the second most recent undo state can be removed, but not the most recent.

Yeah, I would actually post this in the bug section. I can't think of any reason why this would be intended behavior.

Actually, Justin replied on this in the bugs section:
https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=224903

It is by design.

The menu item should ideally be grayed out when it does nothing, though.
