For some reason vi symbolic link was pointed to //bin/busybox. Now everything is working properly.

jj@Layered /usr/bin $ ls -lash vi*
   0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   13 Nov 27 20:12 vi -> //bin/busybox
   0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   13 Nov 27 20:12 view -> //bin/busybox
4.0K -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2.3K Nov 29 12:09 vigra-config
2.5M -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2.5M Nov 30 03:08 vim
 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    3 Nov 30 03:08 vimdiff -> vim

Thanks for your help.

I went ahead and installed gvim as Nicolas suggested. I did not have any problems undoing changes in gvim. After further investigation I only have this problem when I run vi. If I do vim undo works also. The only thing I have in my home dir that's related to vi is .viminfo which a history file.

do you have a ~/.vimrc?
Try
:map u
and see if there is a mapping.
