It seems when typing in edit mode, every letter creates a new undo
change object. The undo stack gets filled very fast if you type a lot.
Suggestion:
1) Edit mode should create its own local undo stack that is always
initially empty.
2) Exiting the edit mode should destroy the local undo stack and
insert a single change in the global stack.
