A couple current bugs in fields - easily visible with the test inserts:

1) Insert Keith's test. Note that the cursor is on the next line.
        Type some text. It appears on the previous line, inside the
        field. In order to get to the actual next line, press enter
        once. The cursor doesn't move, but the actual position does.

2) Insert Keith's test. insert martin's test. Not only is martin's
        test inserted in the previous line, as the previous item
        describes, but it causes a duplicate copy of keith's test
        to be created. This copy isn't saved, but it is displayed.

3) Insert Keith's test. Hit undo. Assert, then segfault.

4) Insert Martin's test. Hit undo. Different assert, then segfault.

5) Insert basically any field. Same assert as with Keith's test,
        then segfault. *THIS IS A SHOWSTOPPER*

I'm sure their are lots more, but this should get people started.
