[Qgis-user] Delete key does not remove item in composer

[Bernhard Ströbl]

Hi all,
thanks for your answers which gave me an idea: Everybody saying it is 
not working comes from a German-speaking country, everybody else is not. 
So I overwrote system locale (DE_de) with EN and - tada - it works! 
(confirmed for 2.18.20 on Win7 and 3.2 on Ubuntu)
anybody any idea on that?
Bernhard
