In editor mode
Cut some entities and they get instantly removed.
Press undo, it creates a ghost instead of putting the entities back.

Thanks for the report. I'm not really sure if there's a proper fix for this except maybe disabling undo/redo/cut/paste in the editor. The "delete on deconstruct" logic in the editor was never meant to interact with the cut/paste logic and as such you get what you're seeing.

However, just disabling them in the editor doesn't seem like it's making the game better - just preventing possible useful features.

In the meantime you can just disable the instant-delete in the editor settings.

Undo is a nice to have but can live without and maybe be disabled.
Cut & paste work fine and are extremely useful, please don't disable these.
