Thank you for your report. I can indeed reproduce the issue, and there are no errors in the log so something must be silently going wrong.

The strange thing is that Vrapper's undo functions work for regular XML, so maybe the Maven POM file editor is doing something special. This will need further investigation...

I have the similar issue that the undo command (when vrapper is enabled) is different that if it is disabled.

It somehow deletes more code, if you for instance create a new line and type some stuff it removes the entired line.

Hopefully this helps 😄

@alex1701c The issue in this ticket was only reproducible in the Maven POM editor while your screen capture is clearly about a Java file. I believe this is unrelated, so if you have further concerns then I would prefer if you made a new ticket please.

Anyway, it seems your cursor does not change back to the black "block" cursor which I would normally expect when you press Esc to exit Insert mode. It is normal Vim behaviour that the undo command will undo everything you typed during a single "Insert mode session", so if you want to have several "undo steps" you should press Esc and then i more often.

Because the cursor didn't change I would also assume you triggered the undo command using Ctrl+Z? Please be aware that this never gets tested because it is assumed that you use Esc and then u like in Vim.
