Undo stack bug "fix

I've been trying to isolate the origin of the undo-stack bug for the last few days. As many of you know the undo-stack seemed to periodically freeze for no good reason. I originally thought it had something to do with the paging file because it seemed to occur less when I had it turned off. This was not the case since I have recently discovered that the frequency of the bug is entirely user dependent.
You can recreate the bug by simply right clicking while you are moving a brush.
Step by step:
1) Select a brush
2) Left click on a gizmo and hold down the left button
3) right click
Your undo stack will now be frozen.
This is good news, because it will hopefully be an easy fix for the constructor team when the get a chance. But until then we can all just make a conscious effort to not left+right click while moving elements in constructor.

Does anyone know if this problem has been fixed or how to get out of this with out restarting. I still get the same problem from time to time.

I would assume that it got fixed as I never experienced it.

At least that is my understanding of it.
