            Bug ID: 137459
           Summary: Delete key behaves like Backspace in Calc and Writer
                    when editing a comment
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.2.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: J22Gim at gmail.com

Description:
This happens when editing a comment both in Calc and in Writer. Additionally,
it happens in Calc when editing text inside a cell, as I reported earlier (Bug
132317). So in the "component" field of this bug report I select Writer (I
can't select more than 1 option).

So, in Calc and Writer, when editing text within a *comment*: When using
CTRL+Del to erase everything to the right of the cursor, at some point it
switches to the behavior of CTRl+Backspace instead of the intended CTRL+Del.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Calc and place your cursor in any cell 
2. write any text, preferably 2 or more sentences (the longer the easier is to
see this bug)
3. now place the cursor at the end of the 1st sentence and try to delete all
the rest (ie all characters to the right of the period). To do that quickly I
use CRTL+Del. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Calc or Writer and place a comment anywhere.
2. Write any text inside this comments, preferably 2 or more sentences (the
more sentences the easier is to notice this bug)
3. now place the cursor at the end of the 1st sentence of this comment and try
to delete all the rest (ie all characters to the right of the period). To do
this quickly I use CRTL+Del. 

Actual Results:
Libreoffice starts erasing by 'eating' word by word to the RIGHT of the cursor
as intended. But if you keep pressing CRTL+Del when no more words are available
to the right to be deleted, Libreoffice unexpectedly switches to the behavior
of CTRL+Backspace, actually erasing words to the LEFT or the cursor

Expected Results:
It should do what it is told to do: erase words to the RIGHT of the cursor. If
there are no more words to the right of the cursor, stop deleting.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
This happens when using CTRL+Del. Using only Del key works as expected
(although of course it is much slower because it deletes characters one by
one).
