Folding bug, and a small behavior change request

[awol]

Hi Wouter,

I found a small bug in Folding:
Focus on a cell that contains a nested cell or grid that is folded and
displays the "+" icon.
While folded, press Insert; a very small square will appear.
Type any text. The cursor should move but the text that is keyed will
not be displayed.
press Enter
press Escape
press F10
the original contents of the first cell of the nested grid have been
overwritten.

I'd like to add a wish here, too:
For creating a new cell or a new nested cell: If I press Insert and
optionally key in some text, then change my mind and press Escape to
remove the text, I'd like the new construction to disappear as well.
If I were to want a blank cell or nest, I can press Enter instead of
Esc. I'm assuming that most of the time when I press Esc in a new cell
it is because I've made a mistake or changed my mind and want the
entire action to go away.
Also, for me this behavior is more consistent with the removal of the
entered text when pressing Esc.

Thanks,
Allen

Ah, that is a bug.. it should automatically unfold.
Please re-download to get the fixed version

That is normal, since INS selects the first cell of the grid... it was
just hidden in this case. I changed the behavior to selecting the last
line, ready for inserting more items, which is more intuitive.

I am not sure if I agree, it is hard to tell what is natural in terms
of how many steps back to undo, and also I don't want ESC to become
another undo key.
