Delete key removes content while composing emails

Bug Reports

#1

Description

When composing an email and I find a typing error somewhere within the composition and I go to correct my problem and when using the delete key, it will remove large sections of content while composing emails. To get around this Ive been using the backspace key without a problem, but normally with any other email app or anywhere else in my OS (browsers, apps, etc) I dont have this problem and the delete just does what its supposed to do.

To Reproduce…

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. compose an email
  2. pick a place somewhere within the content
  3. press delete key
  4. some content then goes missing
  5. I can recover the content by clicking CTRL Z

Expected Behavior

I expect the delete key to function normally. If I press the delete key the one character in front (to the right) will be deleted, not entire sections of content.

Screenshots

no screenshot

Setup

  • OS and Version: ZorinOS 16.3, Ubuntu Linux 20.04, Ubuntu 22.04
  • Installation Method: .deb
  • Mailspring Version: 1.12.0-390a301d

Additional Context

Happens with all email accounts… Gmail, Fastmail, Yandex, etc. Also, this does not happen every single time I press the delete key, but most of the time, say 90% of the time.

#2

I have an update for this. Not sure if it will help or not. When I pressed the delete key a couple times to go back I got this message…
