Info: WinNT4, PII 233, 128MB, POV3.5b1

Cursor is at position 1
I write two letters - "am" - cursor at position 3
I press TAB - "ambient" word appear - cursor at position 8
I press Ctrl-Z to undo expansion but cursor stayed at position 8
   I think it should be at 3

Actually, I think you should read the docs on keyword expansion, especially
if you are going to report a bug in it.

sorry then
words "it won't always restore the caret position" means that it is a
bug but of course known one, right ?
personally I don't like two combination for different undos
I think "Hint" should be replaced with "Warning" in 1.5.5.2

no, if it were a bug I would have fixed it. what it means is that if you
want to return to the previous state, use shift+tab, rather than undo. this
is the 'official' way to do it. if enough people complain then I may change
my position on this.

perhaps it my english but I thought becouse of sentence "won't always"
which means for me "somtimes yes, sometimes no" and IMO if something
is not stable then it is a bug, but as I said this could be my english
recognition

well, now I have tested four programs, some from MSC and some from
Borland Delphi, and every one makes keyword expansion with normal undo
