Today I got an email from the GNU Emacs bug tracking system notifying me that a bug I filed in 2008, which involves _random, complete unrecoverable loss of all undo history_, had been addressed. 13 years later, they've resolved it as "won't fix": https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=530 …

Seems like it was actually merged with another bug, which suggests that this was caused by hitting the undo-limit. won't-fix appears to be misleading, as you can customize the size of the undo-limit.
-
The other bug was also marked won't-fix, so there's no difference. Either way, it's a bug. Hitting the "undo limit" should not cause you to be unable to undo _anything_. It's a bug in the implementation of how undos are discarded at the very least.

What editor are you using right now then sir

Proprietary in-house. On stream, I use 4coder.

BTW, not sure if you've mentioned it on a stream or not (probably did), but is there any particular reason as to why you don't use Vim?
-
I don't like editors in general, I just want to be able to program them to do what I want. So really for me the best thing is a C interface where I program them to do what I want. That's what 4coder did, so that's what I used, and then eventually I moved to completely custom.
