If I change code in the IDE and there is an error when trying to compile
the code, no undo is possible.

I think it's just a case of the unit being saved before compilation
regardless of any errors. After a save there is nothing to undo until
the next code change is made.

Do you have the "Automatically save before project compilation" option enabled in the Environment/Options dialog ?  If so, then that's why.

I forgot to mention that: No, this option is not enabled.

FWIW, Delphi has an option to allow undo after save, and I keep it on.
No sane programmer doesn't have the auto-save on compile set (certainly
no Delphi programmer!), so it would be nice to have undo past save if
it was possible sometime. Not often used of course.

Yep, this is a bug.  The fix that added the cleanup code on invalid event assignments is clearing the editor undo, even when it isn't warranted.

A fix will be in the next build.

EWB actually defaults to allowing undo after save.  The current behavior is a bug (see above).  The only thing that EWB doesn't allow (currently) is undo after form designer/object inspector modifications that affect the source unit, but that will change with 2.5 and the productivity improvements in the editing environment.
