Hi group,

I've noticed that sometimes it is not possible to delete a selected piece 
of text in WDSCi (using Version: 5.1.2.6 Build id: 20051002_2139).

This is the situation when this occurs:

I'm working in an RPGLE free-format program, and my cursor is positioned 
at the beginning of the line.

I select with the keyboard: press SHIFT and use the arrow key to go two 
lines down.

If the line where my cursor is positioned, is a blank line, pressing the 
delete key doesn't do anything.  pressing the space key - thus replacing 
the selected text with a space -  does work, however.

If the line where my cursor is positioned, contains anything, even a 
comment, the delete key works as it should.

This behaviour is somewhat annoying, so I wonder whether this also occurs 
in V6 of WDSCi, or whether a fix is available from IBM (although I doubt 
this, as there are no available updates).

Thanks in advance.
