I created a new document with Composer, a few tables, a bit of text, nothing
fancy. throughout my time creating this Composer often hung when pressing the
delete key (not backspace), predominantly on areas of white space but I think it
also did it where there was text, but can't quite remember. I saved a copy that
was doing this, with the text stripped out to make it simpler to read.

if you press delete in the space between the two tables Composer hangs

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. load
http://www.thegoldenear.connectfree.co.uk/del-between-the-tables-hang.html into
Composer
2. in the white space between the two tables, press delete (not backspace)

Actual Results:  Composer hangs

Expected Results:  space is deleted

confirming fixed. thats the quickest fix checkin I've seen on a bug issue I've
lodged. and its very appreciated.
(I have a few clients waiting patiently to use Composer for their occasional web
page authoring and though its progress has been consistant it hasn't been bug
free enough for them to use yet, but recently some of the uglier bugs have been
squished and its looking really good)
