Select & backspace removes only the single character preceding the selection start

[ErisDS]

Using select + backspace has stopped working between 0.2.1 and 0.2.2

How I reproduced:

• on master (58ffbc8) using broccoli serve to test the demo

Test 1:

• select the second line and press backspace
• the newline between the first and second line is deleted, rather than the selected text

Test 2:

• select both lines and press backspace
• nothing is removed, the cursor moves to the beginning of the first line

Test 3:

• select a few characters in the middle of a word and press backspace
• the single character preceding the start of the selection is deleted

Placing the cursor between two characters and pressing backspace works as expected, deleting the single character preceding the cursor.

Thanks for the super thorough report! We are moving toward semantic actions in post-0.2.1 versions (so, starting at 0.2.2) — moving from reacting to changes to the contenteditable surface towards capturing keystrokes and modifying the internal representation based on user intent. Deletion-handling code is not yet selection-aware, which I think is the root cause of all these failures. I'm starting work on this today.
