The current undo item cannot be null so the assertion is raised and then
skips swapping the undo information between the two objects when the
users chooses to continue.  Is there a particular item where you undo
edits that causes the assertion or does it seem to be any item?  This
would help me narrow the issue down to a certain block of code.
Somewhere the current undo item is not being set properly which is
causing the assertion.
