Description

Type some text or elements, delete them, and then press CTRL+Z. You'll notice that the undo function is not working. I believe this is a significant issue as almost all text editors support this feature nowadays.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue described in the EditContext API: enter text or elements, delete them, and press CTRL+Z. Trace the undo behavior from that reproduction and define done as deleted content being restored through the keyboard shortcut. The issue names no files or tests, so locating the implementation and suitable coverage will require project research.
