When I select text and hit backspace the text is not deleted.
When I select text and hit backspace the text is not deleted. Also if I
select a block of text and type something else the selected text is not replaced. In both cases the cursor returns to the begining of the selected text. This has never been a problem before today and I haven't changed any preferences. Re-booting my computer didn't fix it. |

In Tools Options Edit, check "Typing replaces selection".
