Description
Scenario:
- Debug a template, run into an error
- Delete the offending code block.
- Encounter a different, earlier, error (which is odd but another issue - #377), about substitution values
- Go to the Test Data tab to check the substitution values
- Come back to the HTML tab
- Try to Undo the deletion of the code block from step 2.
Result: no undo. The code block is lost.
I expect a template editor with syntax highlight to behave like a code editor, and offer basic undo.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the scenario in the template editor: delete a code block, switch to the Test Data tab, return to the HTML tab, and try Undo. Trace how each tab preserves editor state and undo history. Done means the deletion can be undone after switching tabs, without losing the existing tab behavior.
