exceptions thrown when undoing (SwiftUI, macOS)

[wtholliday]

To reproduce (macOS 11.6 (20G165)):

1. Run attached project
2. Create a new document
3. Place insertion point at the end of the document
4. Add two characters
5. Undo 2x
6. Observe: *** -[NSBigMutableString substringWithRange:]: Range {14, 1} out of bounds; string length 14
7. Redo.
8. Observe: __redoCommonDoSingle:: NSUndoManager 0x600003d12580 is in invalid state, do not invoke this method while undoing

Given the stack trace, this seems like it might be an apple bug:

This change works around the behavior: audulus@b724bc8

Undo still works, but each undo will change a single character, instead of the typical smarter NSTextView behavior.

[twostraws]

Single character undo seems like a pretty serious breakage. Is there really no other approach here?

[wtholliday]

@twostraws I'm not sure. There's a somewhat similar bug with SwiftUI's TextEditor which I've filed with Apple. Once they fix that, the situation here might improve.
