Describe the Bug

When editing the content description of a topic, pressing the Delete key deletes the topic instead of deleting a character or a piece of text.

To reproduce:

1. Open a roadmap on the roadmap.sh editor
2. Click on a topic, then on the Content & Links tab
3. Start adding some text in the description text input
4. Place your cursor somewhere in the middle of the description text input
5. Press the Del key
6. The topic is deleted

Output from browser console (if any)

If you move your focus from the input/text area, then it will delete it. Otherwise, I can't reproduce the issue.

@dansholds could you please verify also?

[dansholds]

I also cannot replicate, the behaviour is "as expected" when unfocussed.

Did you place your cursor somewhere in the middle of your description text and then press delete? Maybe I can send you a video of the bug.

[arikchakma]

That would be really helpful, and yes I did try with the cursor in the middle.

Here you go. I'm pressing the Del key (Suppr on my french keyboard). I did not move the mouse, just moved the cursor using my keyboard and press the del key to remove a letter, it removed the topic instead.

Interesting, let me debug and fix it. Thanks for letting us know.

@TechWatching Sorry, I still can't reproduce the issue. Can you please tell me which browser you are using and the OS?

[TechWatching]

Edge, windows, french keyboard

[arikchakma]

I don't have access to Windows, I will try it out tomorrow on my friend's laptop.

[arikchakma]

@TechWatching I have tested it in an Edge browser and a Windows laptop, and I'm sorry, but I still can't reproduce the issue.

@TechWatching do you have browser extensions?

[TechWatching]

I have browser extensions but I tested on an in-private session (without extensions) and still have the same problem. To make sure we are talking of the same key, here is the key I am using when I am in the middle of a text on my french azerty keyboard.

I can reproduce on Firefox (private browsing) as well. The focus is in the context text box, I am typing some text, go in the middle of a word for instance, press the Delete key, it does not delete a letter but the whole node (as see in the video above)
