(Incidental note: as I understand it, included images may not appear in the group's conversations. So, I'll make an imgur post after the fact.)

Here's the observation: editing a scene, control-backspace (reverse delete) works, and control-delete (forward delete) works. 

However, when I'm in its *title field* near the bottom, just above the Prev and Next buttons, only control-delete (forward delete) works: the control-backspace (backward delete) results in a box character being generated. 

Let's try the group's screen capture feature here...

I'm on Windows 11, and I'm running AutoHotKey, in case that mungs thing up.

The smaller fields are textboxes while the large field is a modified rich text box. Those kinds of keyboard controls are not something I've programmed, they're supported (or not) natively.

It's the same with Alt+1, 2 and 5 for line spacing in the editor window. It's a function of the control, not something I had to add.
