I believe the relevant code is in qtGui.py: onBodyChanged This method appears to be properly saving the selection range and insert point for the undo code. The problem may be that at the time this method is called there is no selection range at all. At least that's the case as I have dragged text around with the mouse. To repeat, I have not been able to look at the movie. Unless I can see in detail what is going wrong I'll have to defer work on this project.
