This does not seem to be 3.9 specific, as there was a fix for that in
squeakland...
I did not merge 3 of 150 changesets, and this is one of those:
http://bugs.impara.de/view.php?id=3331
Change Set: twoFixes-sw
Date: 12 November 2005
Author: Scott Wallace
Fixes the bug that logged the entire contents of a text pane up
through the end of the current selection, rather than only the
current selection, when logging a do-it to the changes.
------
If this is in 3.8, too, then by definition it is not a show stopping
bug. (As the show was not stopped with 3.8). So this would need to be
checked.
