#2220 fixed in devel and 6.4 branches. Pls test!!!

[Edward K. Ream]

I have just pushed the fix for #2220 to the devel and 6.4 branches. See PR #2222.

The fixes were non-trivial. Please test the 6.4 today!!!

In keeping with the new era in unit testing, I did most of the work in devel using a strong new unit test. I then carefully merged the changed code into the 6.4 branch, ran all the unit tests in unitTest.leo and did some more hand tests.

It's unpleasant to make such major changes just before 6.4, but i see no good alternative. The new code is much better than the old. Not only does the new code fix the reported problem, but for the first time (ever? in years?) undo works in headlines. It's amazing that these bugs have been around so long!

Summary

The 6.4 branch contains fixes to several serious bugs involving headlines. I see no alternative but to include these fixes in the 6.4 release.

Please test the 6.4 branch today.  Leo 6.4 is going out the door tomorrow!!!!!!!

Many thanks to SegundoBob for reporting #2220.

Oops, I meant the 6.4 branch, of course.
