Description

If you tried to undo insertable insertion with Ctrl-z, it will remove also part of the text you typed earlier.

Fixing this is possible in some modern browsers, see:

WikiEditor uses a custom jQuery textSelection plugins which seems to work well cross browser. It had the same issue than this one (T33780) but that seems to be fixed.

Awesome! Thanks so much.
