Thanks. Yes, it's a bit complex. Would there be a less complex way? It is perhaps possible to always keep the original insert point (separately from the current one) and then later figure out if we can use it, instead of trying to disable it in some situations. Or perhaps keep the lowest column of where something was inserted, but only if it's still the same lnum. -- How To Keep A Healthy Level Of Insanity: 5. Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks.
