Default The option save minimal undo states not working too good when removing some FXs (i.e.

If the plugin has the option save minimal undo states enabled and it is removed (either by alt-clicking the FX button or simply removing FX from right-click menu in FX chain), undoing that change doesn't always restore full plugin state.

This is really obvious with NI Kontakt. Simply load Kontakt, put some instrument in it and remove FX immediately by alt-clicking the FX button. Undo that change...Kontakt will get reloaded but there won't be any instruments loaded.
Definitely not nice since this can lead to data loss.

Would it be possible for REAPER to always save full plugin state when removing FX?

Not a bug, I think, that's what that option was made to do - saving a minimal possible plugin state chunk in the undo buffer. Otherwise you would EASILY get very huge undo files... For example, let's say that you have about 8 pretty heavy instruments loaded in a Kontakt instance... plugin state chunk could easily end up being dozens of megabytes (because the instrument data gets expanded and serialized into plugin state). Then for every single tweak within Kontakt you'd add up THAT much MB to the undo file!

... perhaps removing a plug-in should be considered as a "minimal undo state", that is, one to be saved fully.
