Comment:
Daniel's question still stands ... why should Fn+erase delete characters
and not behave as if erase was pressed on its own? Here's a potential
answer ... http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Keyboard says that if you are looking
for a Delete key, use Fn+erase.
Using Terminal, xev, shows the following results:
||''OLPC OS''||''build''||''erase keysym''||''Fn+erase keysym''||
||8.2.1||os802||BackSpace||Delete||
||10.1.3||os860||BackSpace||BackSpace||
||11.2.0||os19||BackSpace||BackSpace||
Therefore this is a regression from 8.2.1 to 10.1.x and is still a
regression in 11.2.0 development builds.
If any release engineer wants to take it into their next release, please
change milestone accordingly.
