Sometimes delete key deletes too much

[Luke Plant]

Sometimes, when the cursor has whitespace following it, pressing delete causes the whitespace AND additional characters to be deleted.

It's difficult to create a fully minimal example, but I've managed to get it down to this, using python-mode 6.1.3

Create a file tmp.py containing the following:

{{{
x = {'abc':'def',

     'ghi':'jkl'}

}}}

(Note the leading 5 spaces on lines 2 and 3)

Open the file.

Place cursor to the end of the 2nd line (after 5 spaces).

Press delete 4 times.

Intermediate result:

{{{
x = {'abc':'def',
        'ghi':'jkl'}

}}}

Press delete one more time. Result:

{{{
x = {'abc':'def',
     ghi':'jkl'}
}}}

Which is not expected!

The '{{{' and '}}}' in my description were intended to be delimiters not actual part of the file.

Grr, spaces deleted as well. I'll just add an attachment for 'tmp.py'

Checked in a fix, please try again with current trunk.
