[GNC] Backspace key stops working

Me too....

Issue is when I enter a new transaction. It auto-fills the previous 
similar transaction which is what I want.... but when I go to edit the 
details - let's say I want to change a word using Shift-Back (or 
Forward) arrow, it selects either a section of the words starting about 
4 characters from the left and extending about 8 characters across, 
rather than the parts of the words or whole words that I want to remove. 
For example "if the first words are "coaching session" it will highlight 
"ching sessi"), no matter where I have the cursor positioned in the 
field when I depress the shift key. However, if I start typing from the 
positioned cursor, the issue disappears... I can then edit as usual.

It's not a big issue... but irritating.
