Hi Jonny,
This is great work! From looking at the patch it appears to do
exactly what is needed (by defering the notifications and redraws
until the end of the span change). I'll apply it and run it
through some tests later
today.
If it all works we can look at applying it to similar situations (like
pasting, changing lists)
Cheers
Martin
