You most likely have disabled undo/redo (in Preferences, System tab, Memory & Limits panel, set Undo Steps to something other than 0)…

I just downloaded today's build and everything is working fine now... Have no idea what happened there. I checked my undo/redo preferences, addons, etc , nothing strange there. Anyway, works now.

This is likely the old issue where an add-on will temporarily disable global undo, cause an exception in the middle of execution, and then not properly restore it.

Perhaps we should add some hardcoded check in Blender to avoid that problem, or provide an alternative way to temporarily disable undo in an add-on that does not affect the preferences.

I'm not sure why so many add-ons disable undo in the first place though. If the operator is set to push an undo step itself then any operators it calls should automatically not do an undo push.
