Try this in a Cocoa text editor that supports multiple undos. ProjectBuilder and TextEdit are both examples.

Open a read/write file with lots of important text in your editor (make a backup first). Select all the text in the file then press option i. Press delete. Try to undo. Try to revert to saved. Both should do nothing but present you with a blank window. If you close the file without saving, then reopen it, all the text will return.

David says, "Cocoa-Easiest way to share bugs across multiple applications." Of course, I had to clean that up for content.

Update: it appears "Revert to Saved" does work in TextEdit which might be another bug altogether. I mean, why enabled it if the file hasn't changed? Even though there is nothing displayed, the file is not dirty.

Lame Rosyna...

Works fine in Text Edit to Revert to Saved. Don't know what your problem is ;-P

Er... I just tried it in TextEdit, and while undo wouldn't work, revert to saved worked perfectly fine.

Well, Revert didn't work in Project Builder =p. Guess they have different logic for the Revert command =).
