Bug Description
Steps to reproduce:
On my desktop (Debian testing "buster", x86_64) the following happens:
- in the schematic editor, when adding a new part, if I enter something in the type ahead field, then deleting characters with backspace is not possible. Same happens for all other type ahead fields.
- marking the characters with the mouse and "right click => delete" does work though.
This can be reproduced on my desktop with Xfce 4.12 and KDE 5, so is independent of the desktop environment. It also happens with the supplied version of Kicad (5.0.2+dfsg1-1) and also with a self compiled version of Kicad (5.1.0-rc1, compiled with clang).
On my Laptop though, having the same Debian version with the same version of Kicad (also x86_64), the error does not occur.
This error makes Kicad nearly unusable for me.
All other applications on my desktop work fine. I have no such problems in all applications != Kicad.
Please copy the KiCad version info for both builds that you used to do your testing. It's possible that your KiCad builds are using different versions of wxWidgets which could account for the differences in behavior.
