David Capello 5ba8cecdde Fix a crash pressing (and keeping pressed) Ctrl+Z (Command+Z) This tries to avoid calling onBeforeCommandExecution() after we are going to the previous state. This might be a problem on all states that are using a scoped_connection to disconnect from the app::Context signal in the destructor (instead of in the onBeforePopState). Something to fix next for all other states.		2021-03-26 10:45:46 -03:00
