The issue that I have seen is not with the length of the inserted code 
but rather with the actual number of physical keystrokes before and 
after the Undo operation.

If the Save button is not active, then this indicates that the editor 
does not recognize that the code has been changed since the last save. 
This becomes a problem with the autosave feature only because (1) the 
editor saves before running only if it recognizes that the code has 
changed since the last save and run; and (2) with autosaving enabled, 
there is no obvious warning that the changed code has not been saved. 
Thus, it is easily possible for the renderer dutifully to render the 
saved file, while properly ignoring the unsaved code in the editor, and 
to produce great confusion in the human at the keyboard--please note 
that I'm speaking from experience here.  ;)  I don't know if this is 
what's happening here, but the Ctrl-Z in the middle makes me suspect 
that this is the case.
