   trickled with the new input queue (happened on some backends only). (#2467, #1336)
 - InputText: Fixed a one-frame display glitch where pressing Escape to revert after a deletion
   would lead to small garbage being displayed for one frame. Curiously a rather old bug! (#3008)
-- InputText: Fixed an undo-state corruption issue when editing buffer before reactivating item. (#4947)
+- InputText: Fixed an undo-state corruption issue when editing main buffer before reactivating item. (#4947)
+- InputText: Fixed an undo-state corruption issue when editing in-flight buffer in user callback.
+  (#4947, #4949] [@JoshuaWebb]
 - Tables: Fixed incorrect border height used for logic when resizing one of several synchronized
   instance of a same table ID, when instances have a different height. (#3955).
 - Tables: Fixed incorrect auto-fit of parent windows when using non-resizable weighted columns. (#5276)
