You can't set the text cursor position after the last character, only before it. At the same time it's actually after it so when you press Delete it removes the character after itself. 1. Add new artistic text. 2. Note that the blinking cursor is located before the last character. 3. Press Backspace and observe the last character being deleted like if you've pressed Delete. 4. Press Left Arrow and see no difference but the cursor is now logically before the last character. 5. Press Backspace again, the next-to-last character is deleted now as it should be.
Hi, Thanks for your report. It's not a regression: 2.9 had this bug as well. The text tools are pretty bad, which is why we're now doing a fund raiser to make it possible to replace them entirely: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/krita/krita-2016-lets-make-text-and-vector-art-awesome
Eek, I was wrong: this doesn't happen in 2.9, I was testing with the wrong build. So it is a regression. The point about the text tool needing replacing stands, though!
