    Undo'ing prefab changes does not work anymore.

    Reproduce
    • Open attached user project
    • Select Assets/Cube.prefab
    • Click "Open Prefab" in Inspector
    • Disable the "Box Collider"
    • Click the "Scenes" button in the Scene view toolbar
    • Execute "Edit > Undo" until no further Undo steps are available
    • Select Assets/Cube.prefab
    • Click "Open Prefab" in Inspector
    Observe the box collider is disabled, even though "Undo" should have undone this modification.

    Actual
    Undo does not work with prefab modifications.

    Expected
    Undo works always.

    Did this work in previous 2018.3 versions and are other prefab related undo operations affected or is it specific to this example?

    I dont know. But it works with 2017, I verified it with 2017.4.10f1.

    Every prefab modification I tried cannot be undone. I tried turning Components off, changing GameObject Layer, changing Transform Scale, changing "Receive Shadow" in a Mesh Renderer.

    It seems any modification that were made in "the prefab editing mode", cannot be undone after leaving the prefab editing mode.

    This behaviour is a known limitation of the current design. It might change in future versions.
