The StringContent class is final. It may have sense to change the updateUndoPositions() method visibility from protected to package.

- protected void updateUndoPositions(Vector positions) { + protected void updateUndoPositions(Vector<UndoPosRef> positions) { UndoPosRef with package access is exposed in protected method.
