I see. I don't think this can be done with the current implementation of the symbol list. The symbol list code really just sees "\section{\homeworkProblemName}" and does a regular expression search/replace operation which results in "\homeworkProblemName". It can't evaluate custom commands defined in another part of the document which would be necessary in this case.

So the symbol list would need to be much smarter and actually evaluate the LaTeX code to display something more sensible.

Undo and Redo buttons do come up when the editor has focus (keyboard is visible).

I can reproduce the problem and will try to fix it.

What kind of files are you editing when this happens? Are you typing with an external keyboard or with the one-screen keyboard?
