Package: lynx-cur
Version: 2.8.7pre2-1
Severity: normal
In lynx, delete acts like backspace, deleting the character before the
cursor (instead of the one after the cursor.) This is inconsistent of the
way other programs work (including bash and earlier versions of lynx).
To reproduce:
Enter, in any text field, ab.
Push left to move the cursor left one letter.
(The cursor should now be on the b.)
Press the delete key.
Expected result: The b should be erased, leaving only the a present.
Actual result: The a is erased, leaving just the b.
In case it matters, lynx is being executed from the console, not from within X.

The particular setting which is needed here is already configurable.
See the options menu, "Line edit style". By configuring to use
"Bash-like bindings", the desired behavior can be obtained.
