Undo Typing is first item on popup menu, this makes it very easy for an accidental button 3 click to remove text - even without the editor noticing.

It would be better if like help was the first item and thus the target of accidental clicks.

Other editors have the menu item at the same location and we won't change the menu structure that exists for almost 10 years.

fair enough.... but in hindsight it would have been so much better to have the standard save,undo,redo instead of undo,redo,save.
