            Bug ID: 295839
          Severity: normal
           Version: unspecified
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: active at kde.org
           Summary: Deleting / overwriting selected text not possible in
                    some cases
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: colomar at autistici.org
          Hardware: Meego/Harmattan
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: Keyboard
           Product: Active

Deleting or overwriting selected text using the keyboard does reproducibly not
work in specific situations, although it works in others. The ones I have
identified where it does not work are these:
- In a plasmoid (e.g. Notes), but weirdly only when I select text from right to
left 
- In the "Activity configuration" and "Add items" dialogs it never works
- In the App Launcher, it's especially strange: Overwriting always works, but
deleting only works when text is selected from left to right

When I select text and tap the backspace key (delete) or any key (overwrite)
the input field just loses focus and the selected text is still there and
selected.
