I am having this issue as well in both Prod and Beta. Same for deleting segments.

But it work ok in incognito, so I think it might be caused by a script.

I am not able to reproduce this in incognito on NA Server.
Using on-screen keyboard for visual of key click.

I tried again in Chrome but not in incognito. I disabled Tampermonkey and Toolbox. So basically the same as incognito for me. This time I was able to duplicate the issue.

My gut feeling is it is a local storage issue or something but I can’t figure it out.

Hello all,

@kamonu thank you for your report. An internal ticket has been opened to look into this issue.

@YanisKyr thank you for your example as well.

@jm6087 I tested in the same area, but was not able to reproduce the bug. I’m also wondering if this is related to a specific OS… For now, this seems to be quite random. The videos demonstrating how you try to recreate the bug are very helpful! I added you examples to the internal ticket.

I will keep you posted on the progress.

Have a great day!
Olesya

I’m having this issue as well, but using scripts, I’ll check and see if disabling them works for me.

Hello all,

I would just like to check whether you are still experiencing this issue on your end. I have just checked again and the “Delete” key works just fine on my Windows device (tried deleting segments and nodes). Just a reminder for those of you who switch between different operating systems: on MAC OS it has to be paired with the “Fn” key.

I will appreciate your update.

All the best,
Olesya

Hi Olesya,

Yes, no improvement.

The Delete key still doesn’t work to delete a connecting node between two segment.
If you want to join two segment you have to use the garbagebin symbol .

Hi @kamonu,

Thank you for your response. Just to clarify, are your referring to Windows or Mac OS?

Best,

Just in case this may help anyone here having this issue:

After some investigation and realising the delete key works just fine for me on a different browser, I have noticed my ‘delete’ keyboard shortcut in the local storage was set to the ‘-1’ key, i.e. unbound. After manually setting the value back to ‘0,46’ (46 is the Del key) the shortcut works again. This shortcut is not visible in the editor so would be difficult to notice otherwise.

I’m not sure what caused this key to be unbound but it may have been due to a WME/script update in the last few months.

Hi Olesya,

Windows + latest Chrome version
