Description David Konecny 2004-08-20 16:05:48 UTC 
Selecting a file in explorer and pressing
Backspace results in "Do you want to delete
file?". Strange.

But much worse is that if you renaming file and
press Backspace it:
* removes character
* finish rename
* asks if I want to delete the file

Extremely annoying and regression, that's why it
is P2.

(tested on today's build)

I'm reopening this after discussing it with Marian. The issue 47024
fixed the problem but only on Linux I guess, because on my WinXP in
today's clean trunk build this still does not work.
Comment 3 David Konecny 2004-08-26 10:31:41 UTC 
Tim you fixed issue 47024 but it is still broken WinXP/JDK1.4.2_04.
Comment 4 Marian Mirilovic 2004-08-26 10:35:39 UTC 
David is right, it works in [nb_dev](200408251800)/JDK1.5.0 (b63) /
Linux RH9/Gnome
Comment 5 _ tboudreau 2004-08-26 10:40:55 UTC 
Hmm, I wonder if the global actions handling checks isConsumed() on the key event - the 
action should never be invoked if the text area already consumed it.

Comment 8 _ tboudreau 2004-08-27 17:49:08 UTC 
Nothing particularly strange about backspace being the equivalent of 
delete;  once the mac keybinding stuff is integrated, this shortcut 
will be moved to the AppleMenu module, so it will no longer be there 
on PC's (mac laptops don't *have* a Delete key - backspace is all 
you get).

I cannot reproduce at all on W2K the problem of backspace while 
editing the name of a file causing it to be deleted.  As far as I 
can tell, the key events are consumed properly - the delete action 
is never invoked for me when editing a file name.  Tried many times.
Comment 9 _ tboudreau 2004-08-27 17:57:29 UTC 
On second though, back to P2.  From reading the duplicates, it looks 
like DeleteAction is being invoked in strange places in the case of 
dialogs which contain explorer views.  That's what needs to be 
fixed - it certainly shouldn't be invoked when focus is anywhere in 
such a dialog.
