I have core data document based application with a custom opengl

Any ideas as to why undo stopped working?
You have implemented observeValueForKeyPath:... incorrectly. The main
issue is that you fail to invoke super's implementation, but you are
not using a context to distinguish your observation request from any
observation request made by your superclass(es).
Try this: on a blank line outside of any method, type "observe" and
then ask Xcode to complete the line. From the possible completions,
select 'observeValueForKeyPath - observeValueForKeyPath: definition'.
That will insert a template for the canonical implementation of
observeValueForKeyPath:... into your code. Follow that template and
you should do better.
You might also consider the approach outlined here:
