[BUG] org-todo on region fails to log changed state [9.6.6 (release_9.6.6 @ /usr/local/share/emacs/29.1/lisp/org/)]

[Gustavo Barros]

Hi All,

When setting Org to track TODO state changes, calling `org-todo' on an
active region comprising multiple headings, the state changes only
logged for the last heading.

To reproduce with `emacs -Q', visit the file:

#+begin_src org
,#+todo: TODO(t) | DONE(d!)

,* TODO Task 1

,* TODO Task 2

,* TODO Task 3

#+end_src

Select a region including all three tasks, call `org-todo' with "C-c
C-t", and mark them as DONE.  The state changes are only logged for
Task 3.  Whereas, if you call `org-todo' on each task individually,
the state change is logged, as expected.

Best regards,
Gustavo.

Confirmed.

The logging works using `post-command-hook', which is only called once.
