A modified version of the proposed patch was applied by Andre' and is working
well on 1.4cvs.

I notice that the patch, although applied, no longer works on 1.4.0cvs. Maybe it
will work later when other things back to work.

can you test again please with current 1.4cvs?

comment:7 by ben.bob@…, 18 years ago

It is not working. Currently, if I use del or backspace within an empty mathed,
the cursor will move out of it, instead of delete it.

I would also like to see this feature, i.e, delete empty math box with
delete/backspace key. It is not working now. If I use the delete or backspace
keys within an empty math box the cursor moves out of it instead of deleting
it.

Remove milestone 1.4.x, which is not a real milestone anyway.
