The 'Edit-Undo' function does not roll-back page layout changes

[KiCad bug report]

When trying to roll-back actions in the EeSchema application with the 'Edit-Undo' menu option (or CMD/CTRL-Z), page layout changes are not taken into account. In this case, I had changed the page orientation from landscape to portrait. Actions older than the page-layout change were taken into account when continuing to roll-back with the 'Edit-Undo' menu option (or CMD/CTRL-Z). I suppose that page-layout changes are not added to the roll-back list ?

Our general approach with undo/redo has been to store the circuit changes not the presentation.

If someone does decide to implement this, it should be implemented across all 4 kifaces.

I understand that it wasn't part of the original design, and therefore isn't a /coding/ bug.

But we should consider it a design bug. Out users certainly will.
