❓ Possible solution
This seems to be caused by the diff processing _getChildrenSnapshot of the graveyard when moving content to it.
Currently I can only avoid this by manually clearing the graveyard and history at an appropriate time.
And I tested some other editors such as Quill and ProseMirror, they don't have this issue.

This looks like a very interesting find. As you may know we are in the middle of introducing multiple performance improvements in the editor. So far we focused mostly on editor loading and editor.getData() speed. But we also look forward to optimize user actions, like typing, deleting, etc. This is something we will surely look at. Thanks!
