When I click on "Undo" in the Undo dialog, the dialog moves up to the
previous instance - but the Ink drawing doesn't actually vanish.

I've tested this some more, and it seems that this effect isn't actually
limited to the Ink tool - the other drawing tools have the same effect. But
I've uncovered another hint:

When I use the "fuzzy stroke" or "hard edged pixels" to paint swift strokes,
then I end up with a single brush image some time after the main stroke has
ended:

That last dot _can_ be reversed with "Undo", but the main stroke can't.

I was wondering if this effect was only limited to GIMP, so I called up
Microsoft Paint (the first time I've ever done that...) - and it worked just
fine there.

I suspect this bug is also the reason why I can't use the "color gradient"
tool - it shows the starting point and the end point as well as a line
between the two, but the gradient isn't actually painted.

Does this help?
