When using the backspace key in Rhino 8 -sometimes- it deletes the selected geometry. This makes it very easy to accidentally delete geometry when erasing commands in the command line.
Is this intentional or is this a bug? If it is intentional, is there a way to disable this feature?
Not sure if I follow what you are describing. I tried the following:
Select an object and hit BS: works
Select an object and move mouse cursor to a panel, hit BS: works
Select an object and move mouse cursor to a panel, change a setting e.g. a checkbox, hit BS: object does not get deleted, same as in Rhino 7
Select an object and move mouse cursor to command line, hit BS: works
Select an object and move mouse cursor to command line, click, hit BS: works
The main difference I see with Rhino 7 is that once you click there in a panel to change something, you can only get focus back to the viewport by clicking there, whereas in Rhino 8 hitting the Esc key brings focus back to the views and BS works again to delete the object.
Then that change from V7 to V8 somehow leads to this accidental behavior, directly or indirectly.
In V7 this did not happen, if there’s a way to roll back to how it was before that would be nice, as long as it doesn’t affect any new features. Thanks for the support.
