Because the undo manager doesn’t get notified when an image is added to the drop zone. So when you undo the last action, the undo manager actually thinks adding the container was the last user action.

It’s something we’d like to improve in the future.

sometimes when I undo something my entire WYSIWYG screen goes grey, and everything dissappears. Scared the mess out of me the first time it happened, but if I close Elements and reopen everything is back.
