I had undo-tree-mode active when I did the deletion, but I get the same error whether it's active or no. I'd like this text back, and I don't care if it's not visible! I can't find any switches that might allow me to circumvent the error -- what options do I have here? emacs-version: "24.3.1" Thanks, Eric
