I have a PDF file that I was not able to easily convert to ODT format; so I used copy/paste of plain text without formatting and started the process of formatting correctly myself. During this process; I noticed unexpected behaviour of DELETE and BACKSPACE keys far too often.
To reproduce this issue; copy the following three lines of text into an empty text document.
82 Joannes Willems, (dezelfde als 78).
Hij trouwde, 22 jaar oud, op 24-02-1766 in Bergeijk met de 24-jarige
83 Adriana Franciscus Peters, (dezelfde als 79).
There are two spaces at the end of each line. Each line might end with a new-line or paragraph symbol; same behavour with either end-of-line character.
Position cursor before the 82 and proceed with keyboard only.
- hold down shift key and key right-arrow key to highlight “82 Joannes Willems“; but not comma.
- Ctrl-B to bold this text; or Ctrl-I to set italics.
- Hit END key to position cursor at end of line.
- Hit either BACKSPACE to remove a trailing space or DELETE to remove the newline or paragraph marker.
Very often; the cursor will NOT remove the character. Instead, the cursor will jump to either just after the bold (or italics) text and before comma; or to the top of current page (sometimes, when text is not on first page of document.
I have some questions that perhaps someone can answer:
- Is this expected behavour? If so, why?
- Was a change made to the document by this key press; if so, what was the change?
- I was unable to predict to which position the cursor would jump to; is it possible to predict?
Thank you for your time,
Frank
