How does Apple see the interaction between dynamic cut&paste and undo?
Imagine I have a graph hot-pasted from a server file in my letter. I
then delete a paragraph. I can always undo delete if I made a mistake.
Now someone modifies the graph on the server, and I receive the new
version, that update (and modifies) my letter automatically. Can I still
undo the paragraph deletion after that? If no, this is extremely unfriendly.
If yes, the undo schemes used currently (eg. by MacApp) need to be reworked.
I guess most commands don't expect the document to be modified between Do
and Undo!
