UndoManager::setCurrentTransactionName() not working as expected

General JUCE discussion
1

The UndoManager class is really awesome (took me an hour to implement a custom undo behaviour). I have only one question:

sliderDragStarted()
{
    beginNewTransaction("STUPID STRING WHICH DOES KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE END VALUE);
}

sliderValueChanged()
{
    perform();
}

sliderValueEnded()
{
    setCurrentTransactionName("CHANGE FROM START TO END");
}

I want to call beginNewTransaction() on a slider drag start and set the name on the transaction with setCurrentTransactionName() on the slider drag end (when I know how much has changed, so I can call it "Change from START to END"). But it doesn't save the new description -UndoManager::getUndoDescription() returns the string passed into beginNewTransaction.

This exact behaviour is also explained in the API, so I don't think I did something wrong:

The description returned is the one that was passed into beginNewTransaction before the set of actions was performed.

Is there a reason why it does not return the most recently passed string?

The rest is working perfectly (calls to perform() get grouped together nicely).

Hmm.. Good point, it really should be able to update the name in the middle of the transaction.

I've updated this now, and I think I've got it right, but don't have any test-cases for it in my own code - let me know if you have any problems with it!

Works perfectly, thanks!
