I re-tested also. Try this. 1. Select several objects. 2. Hit your Delete
key. 3. Click anywhere on your stack. 4. Now, hit your Undo key. It does not
undo the deletion of objects.

I believe this is because of the one-step undo combined with a lack of
discrimination between an action worthy of undo vs. one that never has to be
undone (ie. a mouse click, itself). When my objects disappeared, I clicked
all over in disbelief that they could be gone without warning.

Again, simplest answer for this right now is an, "Are you sure..."
confirmation message, before deleting objects. Trying to write a real undo
is a major undertaking.
