I find the Undo behavior on Docear text boxes to be highly unintuitive and I find myself repeatedly losing data. I like Docear so far, but this is getting a little bit on my nerves, I must admit.
The behavior is simple to reproduce:
1) Start typing in some text in a mind-map node
2) Hit Ctrl+Z
You'll notice that all your text disappears, but even more serious, Ctrl+Y (Redo) won't bring it back.
This is particularly glaring when you have to type in slightly longer text in nodes, which increases the probably of a mistake during writing. Since I tend to use Ctrl+Z in Word to fix my mistakes, I use it practically without thinking but in Docear this is deadly to your data!
If adding proper undo/redo behavior during text typing is too hard, I would recommend at least making sure that you can Redo after this mistake, or else this can become very frustrating.
