Hi,

I'll check it out.

I just make sure that the sample below "ü<Delete>" is actually the
<baskspace> case. It should be "ü<Backspace>" produces u.

Just make sure that we are in-sync.
I thought that <backspace> would delete one character in front of
the current cursor position.

<Delete> will delete the current whole cluster.

This behavior is in Thai and same as "indic" as mentioned by
"Steve Underwood".

Not quite sure about "Korean and Vietnamese" as mentioned by "Mark Leisher"
but if it means "<backspace>" in both Korean and Vietnamese will
delete one character in front of the current cursor position, then,
seems to be Thai/Indic/Korean/Vietnamese behave the same for both
<backspace> and <delete>
