Here is 1-line patch that fixed it for me.

#Cause:
The clear-image Undo state included the full image path in the action name, so Edit → Undo/Redo expanded to fit very long paths.

#Fix:
Keep the action name as Clear image frame content and move the image path to the Undo state description.

#Rationale:
Keeps the menu compact while preserving the path information for Undo history/details.
