Description
several paragraphs of code and prose went up in smoke when switching between visual and text editor... no commits made and nothing recoverable in the undo history
Unfortunately I have not been able to reproduce this, but can dig into it in the new year. I wonder if there's a way to swap editor types where it is not saved before switching.

Research direction
Start by investigating the visual/text editor switch described in the report and try to reproduce the data loss. Trace what happens to unsaved content during the switch; done means switching editors preserves all content and does not discard recoverability through undo.
