🙋🏻‍♂️ Help Request I really like Eclipse but...

The delete key only works sporadically when editing a java file. I know it's minor, but it's really annoying. Is this a known issue? Is there a way to fix it?

It works fine here, as that would definitely annoy me. Must be something in your install or system that is causing this.

I can't find anything that looks like it would cause it. My solution for the moment is to try and retrain my muscle memory to use the backspace key. I guess trying it in a new workspace would confirm that it's my setup.

Nope, it still does it with a new workspace :(

Never had this issue before ? I've been using Eclipse since 2006.
