Build Identifier: 20100617-1415

When editing attribute fields, pressing Ctrl-Z will undo the previous change to the model, but continuing to edit the field will corrupt the plugin.xml file. I suspect it is still acting on file offsets which were correct before the undo action was performed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new plugin project, I chose the "Plugin with sample help content" template.
2. Open the extensions page, edit one of the fields to increase the length of the value it contains. I chose the first element and appended 'sss' to the file name.
3. Switch to another extension element and start to type into a field. I typed 'sss' on the end of the second element's filename.
4. Press CTRL-Z - the field will remain unchanged
5. Continue typing into the field
6. Press CTRL-S and switch to the plugin.xml page. It is corrupt.

See also bug 68423. Apparently undo isn't supposed to work at all..
