What happened?

When I press CTRL + backspace in any text editor, it glitches. Does anyone know what it could be? I tried changing the function to do nothing when pressed, but it didn’t work.

I've tested this. Pressing CTRL+BACKSPACE adds 7F (127) ASCII character, which in Notepad++ is printed as special character DEL

Fix (removes 1 character, not 1 word, but blocks character 127) in src/framework/ui/uitextedit.cpp:

This will make CTRL+BACKSPACE work as BACKSPACE (todo: make it remove whole word)
Under:

        } else if (keyCode == Fw::KeyA && getProp(PropSelectable)) {
            if (m_text.length() > 0) {
                selectAll();
                return true;
            }
        }

Paste:

        else if(keyCode == Fw::KeyBackspace && getProp(PropEditable)) { // erase left word
            if (hasSelection() || !m_text.empty()) {
                // todo: remove word, not 1 character
                del(false);
                return true;
            }
        }

This will block adding character 127 to text edit area:
Under:

bool UITextEdit::onKeyText(const std::string_view keyText)
{

Paste:

    if (keyText.length() == 1 && keyText.front() == 127) {
        return false;
    }
