In other words, the behavior illustrated below looks right to me, while passing `#f` as the second argument to `begin-edit-sequence` gives the behavior that I think you want. So, are the bugs then related to calls to `begin-edit-sequence` that should pass #f for the `end-streaks?` argument? <div><div class="h5"> At Sat, 14 Sep 2013 15:00:55 -0500, Robby Findler wrote: > A little more progress: it turns out that simply turning on and turning off > an edit-sequence in a text% object clears some internal state in a text% > object (the extend-streak? field) and, when the search bars are open, more > edit sequences are flying around.
