Typing

I couldn't reproduce this behavior on NT, but it probably has nothing to do
with spellcheck.

Chances are that something's getting glitched in your keybindings, probably
at the platform level. If you're interested in debugging this, you could
set a breakpoint at the appropriate spot here and make sure it's following
the right execution path:
abi/src/wp/ap/xp/ap_EditMethods.cpp
If not, check the definition of EV_NVK_BACKSPACE for your platform here:
abi/src/af/ev/<platform>/ev_<platform>Keyboard.cpp
By setting another breakpoint inside keyPressEvent(), you should be able to
see exactly what's happening.
Hope that helps.
