GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 123210
Delete Key should delete text when text is selected

Currently, if you are typing and press the delete key, this will cause the entire text object to be wiped out. This is very unnatural, at least in Windows. When you are working with text, the delete key should delete the text to the right, as it does in all other windows apps.
