It's essential that the Output of the command is "Replace Document". I couldn't find a command with this setting at the time I sent the bug report. Now I did, so here is a easier way:



Create a new file with content: 
ac 
ac
ac

Make a column selection between a and c 

Type b 

Run the command "HTML->Includes->Update Document"  (Command+control+U)

Expected result: 
abc 
abc 
abc

Actual result: 
abc
abc
abcabc
abc
abcabc
abc
abc
