Certainly changing the font size to 12 makes things a lot better - the
undeleted text goes back to the correct place now.  There's still a
little niggle in that if you delete the last line of quoted text, the
deleted line is not quoted when it's replaced.

I'm seeing other issues around quote levels - sometimes the quoting
arrows just disappear.  But I can't find a reproducible way of showing
it. It feels at times as if the underlying editor is using HTML and
just converting to text as it is displayed - what I mean is that
sometimes in text mode it looks as if I inadvertently delete a tag
(that I can't see) and it affects a whole section of text - like
removing the quote arrows.
