The default size is 200, which should be more than enough in most cases.
However, undo is not known to work in all cases. Hence I would recommend
that you open a bug with the exact case where undo is not available.

(.. though I don't know if PHP editor overrides this setting)

i found this bugreport:
http://www.phpeclipse.com/ticket/705
but the developer seems inactive, so i contacted the developers, and one of them committed a fix at 20.11.2011 into the repository
