Delete key - deleting the wrong way

[Guest]

When I hit the delete key to delete text to the left of the cursor, it
deletes any text after the cursor. This is becoming increasingly frustrating
because I am accidentally deleting text that I don't want to delete

The delete key always deletes to the right. Use Backspace to delete to the
left.
