Sometimes holding the delete button will delete the wrong things. It’s hard to say exactly what’s happening because it’s difficult to reproduce, and it is difficult to see what’s happening when holding the delete key.
It could be the cursor jumping around, or it could be that sometimes it deletes ahead of the cursor instead of behind (delete instead of backspace). It could be both.
I believe it happens more often when there’s stuff to live preview, and happens a little less often when the live preview is off.
I also have a similar problem with you, since the ipad update, now I often delete 2 characters when I press the delete button, which bothers me very much.
What plugins do you have active? Do you see this in a sandbox vault as well? (Since the mobile versions annoyingly still don’t have a way to open a copy of the sandbox vault, you’ll have to manually put a copy somewhere in your iPad’s storage. They make it hard to just get a plain copy, but it looks like someone uploaded a zip of it to the forum last year in this thread: Restore Sandbox vault?
Sorry for taking so long to reply to you.
I used sandbox vault on my iPad and also encountered the problem of deleting 2 characters. But it should be noted that I have found that only inputting Chinese can cause such problems, while English does not.
