Description Yair Rand 2012-09-21 00:58:34 UTC 
The backspace button is sometimes deleting the character immediately ahead of the caret, instead of the character behind it. Other times, the backspace button functions fine, though I don't know which situations it works or doesn't work in. 

For example, in [[VisualEditor:Test]], if one selects the place between the "n" and "l" in the word "only" on the third line and presses backspace, "oly" is displayed for a split second before changing to "ony".

Tested on Chrome/IE9/FF15 on Windows 7.

Leaving a note for myself... This is caused when a paragraph begins with a breaknode. The breaknode is sluggable and the slug is inserted before the breaknode. I'm going to discuss with Inez next week.

This was fixed by Roan.
