bug(mac): editing text does not behave as expected

[mcdurdin]

Describe the bug

This is a report from Anna via private email to me.

• If you select a portion of text to delete, the delete button does nothing.

• Sometimes you need to hit delete twice for one letter to disappear. I can't predict when this will happen.

• Sometimes you hit the delete button and nothing happens.

• Sometimes the word I'm typing (first word in a new line) suddenly jumps up to the end of the previous line!

• When you start typing from a new line or in a new cell of a table, or when you go back to add a word in the middle of a sentence, it doesn't realise it's the start of a word, so no breathing mark is put on the initial vowel. Similarly, sometimes you are adding a vowel to the middle of a word and the breathing is put in (but you don't want it).

• If you select a word in a sentence to delete it, the word stays there and only the space before the word is deleted.

• If you delete some letters and then "undo" the delete, the cursor moves to weird places

• If I write this:

  αυτος
  αυτος
  

  And start deleting from the end, it takes 2x keystrokes to delete the ς of the first word.

• When deleting a line-initial word, suddenly the word moves up to join the last word of the previous line. Just once, a sigma was added in between!?
