Google Doc: Difficulty in Cutting; Deleting etc
Google Docs on FireFox ,
Thanks this Forum helping me resolving GDoc problems on FF; I opted to continue using GDoc on FF (to read, but not edit due to the continuous operational problems).
Now next I would like to resolve the problems of deleting/moving texts in GDoc: I can easily paste in blocks of text anywhere as in a regular Word Processor, I can copy/paste block of text within the GDoc, but not so easy in removing/ deleting.
Encountering very time consuming/ painful tasks of non-uniforming/ non predictable behaviour of keyboard editing/deleting/moving the text within the GDoc.
I can sometimes cut word/words in one line, but not the whole line, no multi lines; then frequent timeout, constant trial/error.
Never this problems on Chrome.
What's going on and what to do?
moderator edited to remove the leading line spaces which trigger a horizontal scroll bat - please don't indent any lines of text

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is is causing the problem.
- switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

You select the shape and then hit backspace
Background: The GDoc problem started last fall after an Firefox update. It was so bad, I gave it up using GDoc on FF, until recently after learning the mouse click would not do, but key up/down/return to get control of navigation etc.
Now like to find tips dealing with Delete/Backspace : both act erratically, almost like it needs to pray for that it to work, sometime comes quickly, most of time wait, if the FF/GDoc mind coming back to rescue.
Currently, I can delete/backspace a selection within a line, but not the whole line, sometime a word, but not with enjoining spaces?
Does the same thing happen in Word Online?

Thanks.
Problems disappeared while in Safe Mode.
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -safe-mode
Deleting/BackSapace keys all worked normally in GDoc as in other programs.
will now progress testing the three addons.
Thanks.
OK, with Firefox refreshed after all addons were removed,
the delete/backspace keys now worked normally.
Thanks.
That FF Refresing after all Addon removed also seemed to also have cleared other GDoc Menu Dropdown Navigation Key Problems previously Experienced.
I have now added back some Addons, after twice closing off FF/back on,
still working properly.
Great Sign and Reelief. Thanks.
