When editing properties, I'd suggest never using the delete key at 
all. Use the trash can icons instead.

Important: use the UPPER trash can to delete single properties, use 
the LOWER trash can to delete property sets. The Delete key is just 
too vague sometimes with multiple hilites all over the place.
