Title: Issue with backspace not removing working properly
Post by: TKasparek on September 22, 2017, 10:16:05 pm

I've hit an issue several times with backspace not correctly removing a character. In the following example:
ABCDEF
If I place the cursor between D and E and hit backspace twice I would have:
AB  ED
The characters are cleared instead of removed.

I haven't nailed it down what gets me into this mode. The only way to recover has been to relaunch SE and then everything works fine again.

Set the macro variable def_pull to 1 (Macro>Set Macro Variable...). I don't know where this option is in the GUI. When you restarted SlickEdit, you were in insert mode. Before you exited, you were in replace mode with def_pull set to 0.
