You should really consider inviting conversation-capable contributors to such
meetings. Last time I was invited was reasonably useful, IIRC.

But actually - last time I was invited, it was just me and you. Would you mind
telling me who was involved in the discussion?

I disagree. The consistent behavior will be that you only undo something you're
seeing.

That is a valid point. However - it's an argument against any non-trivial
behavior change. And this could also be mitigated:

1. Introduce this behavior as opt-in at first (or just forever)
2. The first time one runs Writer after an update to a version supporting this,
a small dialog box comes up.

It would bring the cursor to where that word was typed in. Unless you walked

No we don't.

Not sure what that means.
