 Start writing a new blog post in wordpress 2.5, for example on
 wordpress.com. When you've finished writing it, accidentally highlight the
 whole text and delete it. Press CTRL+Z or Undo in your browser.

 If your browser is GNOME Epiphany nothing happens, you cannot undo, you've
 lost your work.

 If your browser is Firefox 3 you can undo. Redo, however, does not work.

 In either of these browsers, on most web pages, both Undo and Redo work
 absolutely fine in the embedded text editor.

 I am using Ubuntu 8.04 and am able to reproduce this issue in both Firefox
 and Epiphany by following the steps above.

 I would say this is a pretty serious issue as it can lead to the loss of
 big chunks of user content. My friend just lost an hour's work and is very
 upset.
