I think that we should show a cancellable warning when a possibly accidental action like typing is about to discard a large redo buffer, like 10+ or a configurable number of undo steps. A use case: user realizes that deleting some piece of the edited file was a bad decision, so they hold down Ctrl+Z intending to get back to the point before the deletion, copy the deleted content to clipboard, redo (Ctrl+Y) forward to the current version, and paste the copied text. Unfortunately the user releases Ctrl a split second before Z, resulting in the letter 'z' being typed into the editor. This discards redo buffer -> disaster -> frustration.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
