Yeah, this has actually never worked (not in TextMate 1.x either). For
now, if one makes a mistake while recording a macro, either start over
or fix the source of the recorded macro.
The problem is that undo is context dependent so for it to work in
macros, we need to unrecord the logical operations done, but the undo
stack does not have that info, furthermore, we would need to also handle
redo, so extra bookkeeping would be required when undoing in a macro,
and we may also need to support undoing more than recorded actions,
which would need to not group the entire replay of a macro as a single
undoable action.
So all in all a lot of complexity, hence why it hasn’t been tackled
yet…
