Fixed in revision 11147.
The problem was not a bug, but rather a case of missing functionality.
First I tried to fix it by 'bundling' all the changes into a single
'viewstate' struct.
However, it turned out that CUndo::Undo could actually correctly undo
only a limited subset of possible viewstates, due to the ambiguous ordering
of different kinds of operations. So I implemented a separate 'grouping'.
I also has suspicions that pasting a large blocks of
text might be rather wasteful of memory -- creating three viewstate
structs for every character.

So, I wonder -- would not it be a better design to create
'CEditAction' base class
with 'CChangeLine', 'CInsertLine', 'CRemoveLine', etc. as descendants,
each with its own implementation of 'Undo' virtual method?
Also, why are three viewstates per action needed -- AFAICT each of
them is always
either empty or duplicates the other two?
