Found bug in MS Word

[Argo]

Check this out. Type a sentence. The place cursor in the middle of the sentence and hit delet 3-4 times. Now hit undo (Ctrl-z) to un-delete the characters. Once all characters have been undeleted hit redo (ctrl-y) to remove the characters again. Except this time, redo won't stop at the last action you took (the last character deleted by you) but instead will continue to delete the whole sentence.

Not a bug. It's redoing the last activity which was delete.

Well, it should stop as soon as it reaches the last delete I did. It does that the same for any other action (for example insert).

it's redoing your last action. its not doing your last action, then doing the one before that, then the one before that.

Ctrl - Y is for Repeat, not Redo, in that circumstance. The Word help says Ctrl - Y does both and Word chooses which is the most appropriate in each circumstance.

Put the undo, redo, and repeat icons on your toolbar. You'll notice the Redo works perfectly (it goes inactive and you can't click it), and the Repeat does what you are saying.

Undo just keeps going until it "undos" (sic) everything you've done since you opened the .doc...

Tried using the undo/redo icons in the menu and the bug is unrepeatable.

Notepad Tricks:

Create a blank text file with ".LOG" in the first line of the file (without the quotes). Press Enter to insert a carriage return after the first line, then save and close the file. From then on, anytime you open the file with Notepad, it will place a time and date stamp at the end of the file, and position the cursor on the line below.
