Oh sorry, I missed your reply ~suv. I've been able to reproduce it every time I open a new blank file, according to the info below. Attached is the last file I was using, zipped together with my pref file.

Here are the steps I made:

 - draw blob shape using Star tool (tool style is black stroke, no fill)
 - object to path
 - fill using Paint Bucket

At this point, if I undo the paint bucket fill, I am able to redo the paint bucket fill.

Next, I edited the fill shape (although the same would apply to the original black stroke with no fill blob)

Here are actions to the fill shape (green blob), and to the file, which after undoing, I cannot Redo:

 - move with selection tool
 - drag nodes, node handles, sculpt nodes with Node tool
 - scale, rotate, skew (selection tool)
 - add a filter
 - add stroke
 - change fill via palette (or stroke)
 - change fill to gradient (or stroke)
 - draw new rectangle, filled via palette, to test dropper tool
 - change fill with dropper tool (or stroke)

If I do several of those steps in a row, and then Undo 1 step, cannot Redo.
If I do several steps in a row, and undo all the way back to the paint bucket fill, I can Redo the paint bucket fill, but I cannot redo any of the other steps, after the bucket fill.

Here are actions to the green blob, or to the file, which after undoing, the Redo button becomes activated and I can Redo.

 - use Eraser tool on it
 - change fill color using Paint Bucket
 - draw with Calligraphy tool
 - draw an Ellipse

Any of those steps, after undoing, I can redo. (I have the impression that there's something similar to all those tools, but I can't explain technically what it is.)

After some time of testing, and I have managed to activate the Redo button a few times, in the same file, it seems to stay active, from there on, even if I do some of those steps which initially could not be redone.

Let me know if you need any further info :-)
Thank you very much!
