Description

This JS page has the following code

bug = '– — ‘+’ “+” ° º ″ ′ ≈ ≠ ≤ ± − × ÷ √ ← → · §   \ {\+}} {\{\{+}}}';

If I click after a "\" and press backspace, CodeEditor deletes the character which is after the cursor, instead of the "\".

Still happens on Firefox 36.0.1, using Ubuntu.

hmm, interesting.

can mean two things, it's using a font that it isn't supposed to be using, or font measuring on FF linux is broken.
