Backspace deleted characters and moved node

[SegundoBob]

I was editing a file and I used backspace to delete three characters from the body of a node.  The characters were deleted, but in addition the node was moved left 2 levels and down 1 level.  I noticed because this happened to move the node out of Python coloring and into "plain" coloring.

Ctrl-Z (undo) undoes the character deletes in one step, then the node move in one step.

So first the node was moved, then the characters were deleted.

I could undo and redo the problem over and over, but I could not reproduce the problem.

A possible explanation would be accidentally, and without noticing,
hitting another key before the backspace. I know I sometimes hit
Ctrl-D (aiming for Ctrl-S) and similar node moving actions, worst is
when you move a code node out of a @file tree and then no matter how
you change the code in the node the programs execution is unaffected :-}

I have problems when the function-lock key isn't on. I hit F3,
thinking to do a find, and instead I do a redo.

The dratted caps lock also causes chaos.
