In a line with more than 4 spaces at the end, the backspace deletes 4 characters before the current cursor position regardless whether the cursor is at the end or not. Is this the intended behavior? The fix seems quite simple. In the meantime, should we simply delete all white space at the end of line if backspace is hit at the end of the line?
