  I'm not really sure what the issue you are trying to solve with the
  delayed commit is ... it strikes me as a little odd to be able to
  backspace through arbitrary amounts text and convert shin => sin, 
  especially if you can't do the same thing when moving the cursor
  around.
  
  But excessive resets need to be fixed
