I compose all e-mail and reply e-mail in HTML with normal
formatting. I have had strange events occur when correcting a
mistake I have made or changing the wording in a phrase.
Backspacing a dozen or so characters can cause 3.16.0 to "stall"
and take CPU usage to 25% and grey-out the screen display. After
a few seconds or so, the backspace operation will complete and
the screen returns to normal brightness.
Today's business e-mails are the equivalent of typewritten
business letters of the past. They need to be formatted
correctly and look professional.

Subject: [Evolution] WebKit editor undo problems
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2015 17:59:58 +0100
Evo 3.16.2.1 on Fedora 22
I'm seeing some strange things with the webkit editor and I can't
find
any references to the problem - probably looking in the wrong
place.
The primary problem is that the undo when editing quoted replies
is
seriously borked. For instance, and apologies if this gets
difficult to
follow, take the text I sent myself - the words are numbered so
you can
see what happens:
========
Lorem1 ipsum2 dolor3 sit4 amet5, vix6 ut7 congue8 inermis9, no0
quot1
porro2 accommodare3 mel4. Sea5 id6 nihil7 intellegat8
dissentiunt9,
accumsan0 pertinacia1 consequuntur2 ad3 vim4. Viderer5 evertitur6
referrentur7 vel9 id9, ei0 unum1 nulla2 voluptua3 cum4.
========
on replying I get:

I delete the bottom line (by highlighting and <del>):

I undo using Ctrl-Z

pertinacia1 consequuntur2 ad3 vim4. Viderer5 evertitur6

So the undone delete is not placed back in its original position.
Is this reproducible by others?
It's fairly annoying when trying to trim other people's posts and
you
get it wrong and then can't undo the delete.
It also seems to behave much better in HTML mode. (And I'm damned
if
I'm going to start composing all my emails in HTML.)
