Description Carl Schaefer 2015-04-20 21:19:14 UTC 
After deleting multiple characters with Ctrl-Backspace or Ctrl-Delete, the "undo" operation does not undo the deletion.  For example, in the message body panel of the composer window, typing "123" then Ctrl-Backspace to delete all three characters.  A subsequent undo operation will restore only "3"

After typing "123" then Home then Ctrl-Delete, the undo operation will restore only "1"

This happens in both HTML and Plain Text modes.

seen with 3.16.1 on an Arch Linux system
