Describe the bug After entering a word in the text pane I tried to delete all the characters by long pressing the Backspace key leads to stuck the cursor on the text pane.

To Reproduce

2. Open Keyman In-App.
3. Enter a word in the text pane.
4. Try to delete all the characters in the word by long pressing the Backspace Key.
