Issue #4046 must be addressed immediately. The add-editor command can easily create data loss.

This issue could have been reported against Leo 6.8.0 on July 3. Apparently, few people use multiple editors, or perhaps those that use multiple body panes have not upgraded Leo past 6.7.8.

In any case, there are at least three ways forward:

- Do nothing except disable the add-editor command.

- Remove all code associated with the add-editor command, per PR #4047.

- Attempt to fix the existing code.

I shall not attempt the third option. The existing code is already too complex to maintain.

Summary

I'll wait another week before merging PR #4047.

The stickynotes plugin provides an easy alternative to the add-editor command.

As a first step, rev 9683128 in devel disables the add-editor command. I foresee merging PR #4047 later this week.
