Fixed with following commits:

commit 07ff97ee339c74c61479e77c85f1a0962f297f1e in the master branch for Evolution 3.17.4+

commit 61b45e3835fc4d7101519c2729cb04b8a7b28b0a in the gnome-3-16 branch for Evolution 3.16.4+

As I'm still not completely sure whether the undo/redo in quoted content is fixed, please feel free to reopen this report if necessary.
Comment 3 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2015-07-27 18:31:55 UTC 
Nope, still buggy in many cases... one of which I'll attach a screencast for. That's in HTML mode though.

Shouldn't there be a bunch of test cases covering this automatically in both modes and in multiple levels of quoting, with typing, copy/cut/pasting, etc.?

Comment 5 Milan Crha 2020-04-27 14:22:02 UTC 
A lot of things had been changed for 3.37.2, where the composer code had been rewritten to use JavaScriptCore API. I'm closing this in favor of that change. Please retest with that.
