Okay, good point, I read the docs, and it does say it undoes "typing", 
and the Backspace key is typing.  I have a habit of highlighting text 
and hitting the Backspace key to delete it.  The undo does not work on 
this key.  However, it does work (sort of) on the Del key, but adds an 
extra return or linefeed.  This is true on Windows and Linux.

But I agree everything else seem to work for one level.

I still say a 21st century editor (particularly where you are trapped in 
an IDE and can't conveniently use anything else) that does not have 
multilevel undo, is lame.
