Bug ID: 53754
Summary: Marathi/Devanagari:Backspace deletes combined
character clusters together with anuswara diacritics
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW

*This is language/script specific daiatric specific bug split from bug 51472
*For language Marathi Script Devnagari anuswara diatric is ं
*If one types the anuswara daiatric ं after any devnagari script alphabate it
is usually place above the concerned alphabate . For example क is a
Marathi/Devnagari alphabate if I type क+ ं I get कं
*If I place cursor before the cluster कं and press delet then whole cluster
gets deleted and that is right way to happen, and this behaviour needs to be
retained(since if basic alphabate is not there then no need of anuswara
daiatric ं) .
*Problem : In Visual Editor if I place cursor after the cluster eg after कं and
press backspace current behaviour is the whole cluster gets deleted example कं
+ Backspace key = results in whole cluster getting deleted
**The expected behaviour is : Cluster with anuswara daitric (कं) + Backspace
key = retain rest of cluster(retain क ) and only anuswara daiatric ं should
get deleted
**Reason during spell correction many times we need to retain rest of the
cluster and only change the diatrics. For anuswara ं diatric spell change is
required frequently for various reasons like change in singular-plural
tense.Every time retyping the whole cluster is cumbersome. Traditional Source
editing behaviour is proper and expected and problem is coming only with
VisualEditor behaviour.
::**For Example please see this
https://mr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=कृष्ण_श्रीनिवास_अर्जुनवाडकर&diff=1198833&oldid=1198826
edit difference a usser had to change this diatric at several places.
Since users would be reluctant to use VE without correct behaviour , I would
prefer this being treated as a bug not just enhancement and to have fair
importance level.
