Description

Several song editor actions cannot be undone (Checklist courtesy of @allejok96)
- [x] Undo insert bar #6347
- [x] Undo track color change #6165
- [ ] Undo copy paste of multiple clips #6410

Original bug report
Using Windows 10
LMMS 1.2.0 RC6

I opened a song project, and took the playhead to the start of the song and then pressed Shift+Insert key to add 5 empty bars; then I tried to undo it, but there is no response at all! LMMS is unable to undo this.

(Also note that, I went through the above mentioned steps directly after opening the project, so there is nothing else to be undone. And also, I have tried this with a completely different project, but Undo is not working.)

Research direction

Start in the Song editor by reproducing the remaining unchecked case: copy and paste multiple clips, then try Undo. Compare this with the already checked undo cases for inserting bars and changing track color. Done means the copied multiple clips can be undone reliably.
