Dirk Frederickx commented on JSPWIKI-380:
-----------------------------------------
I most cases, backspacing is properly deleting the character before the caret.
With one exception ...
As per design, pressing the TAB key will insert 4 spaces.
AND then pressing the BACKSPACE just removes those 4 spaces !
Also notice that pressing the backspace before 4 spaces always removes 4 spaces
as the editor assumes you removing a tab ;-)
So this behavior is not a bug, but as designed.

> Annoying backspace behaviour of editor

> Key: JSPWIKI-380
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-380
> Project: JSPWiki
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Editors
> Affects Versions: 2.8
> Environment: Firefox 3.1 (daily build), Linux, Windows
> Reporter: Klaus Malorny
> Assignee: Dirk Frederickx
> Fix For: 2.8
>
>
> I've used 2.4 a lot, recently installed 2.6, but not used that much and now
> playing around with 2.8 beta 1. I discovered the behaviour in 2.6, but since
> it is still present in 2.8, I decided to file it as a bug, although it may
> be that some regard this actually as a feature.
> The behaviour I am talking about is within the default plain text editor with
> the additional support implemented via JavaScript. It happens to me that if I
> hit the backspace key, it does not delete only the last character, but up to
> four spaces. This is annoying if I edit a table where I want the columns in
> the text view as well. Using the key repetition function of the keyboard, it
> happens frequently that I get a single character too far. If I hit the delete
> key in such a situation, I have to add three more spaces to go to the
> originally intended column.
> Please remove that "feature" or make it at least somehow configurable. Thanks.
