Using Illustrator CC, "Undo" stopped working. "Undo" is still enabled from the Edit menu, but does nothing; neither does Ctrl/Cmd+Z.

The disabled "Undo" is somehow linked to the artwork. In a new document, "Undo" works. But, if I paste a particular set of artwork objects, the problem re-appears. Also, an asterisk (*) next to the filename appears nearly immediately after saving the document.

I tried re-installing Illustrator and deleting the preferences file, neither of which helped.

I finally nailed down the particular object that was causing the issue. The culprit is a symbol of an arrow, believe it or not. I delete the instance of the symbol and "Undo" functionality is restored. Of course, once I undo the delete, the problem comes back along with the arrow.

How can a simple, single-path shape disable undo?

I even used a built-in symbol that comes with Illustrator, Arrow6.
