Undo not working while seleting background or text color through color picker
Probably related to the mjml plugin, not the core as I can't reproduce it (I'd suggest opening an issue to the related repo).

Describe the bug
How to reproduce the bug? In the official demo: https://grapesjs.com/demo-mjml.html
- Add a column to the canvas
- Select the section
- Go to decorations and select a background color in the color picker (note: don't click on the ok button).
- After step 3, click on the undo button without clicking anywhere else.
What is the expected behavior?
- When the undo button is clicked, the background color should revert back to the previous color
What is the current behavior?
- The background color stays.
Same behavior is noticed for text color as well.

Thanks for reporting this, @codei20.
Great question about Undo not working while seleting background or text color through color picker. The recommended approach with Canvas is to use the event-driven API.
Start here:
- Check the GrapesJS documentation for your specific module
- Look for the
on()event listener method - Most operations can be achieved by listening to editor and component events
Common patterns:
// Listen for changes
editor.on('change', () => console.log('something changed'));
// Component lifecycle
editor.on('component:mount', (c) => console.log('component ready', c));
editor.on('component:update', (c) => console.log('component updated', c));
If you're still stuck:
- Share a minimal CodeSandbox reproduction
- Include what you've already tried
- Mention your GrapesJS version
