Thanks for the reply Tommy.
I have used the Flatpak version of GC since at least 4.0 on the same
system. This is the first experience of the issue described. I often
issue the flatpak update and nothing has updated since GC 4.2.
I am running this on a Lenova w541 and just checked the insert key, but
to no effect. However, there is a "Windows" key and that did remove an
entry. ???
For what its worth, I have two of these laptops, both running the same
version of Linux Mint and I just installed GC 4.2 via Flatpak on the 2nd
one and I don't have this problem problem. Weird.

Hi -- has this issue resolved for you? I am using GnuCash 4.2 via
Flatpak on a couple of different releases of Ubuntu (20.04 and 20.10)
and neither shows this behavior.
I wondered if somehow you had turned on "Insert Mode" on your keyboard
(pressing the Insert key) but at least on this keyboard it didn't
cause the behavior you described.
I know little about flatpak but maybe try opening a terminal and
issuing the command
flatpak update
Maybe if there's a flatpak configuration issue it will tell you.
Oh and just to be certain -- I assume you have used other GnuCash
releases and have not seen this behavior before. If you are a new
GnuCash user and do not have much experience deleting and editing
transactions, you should know you cannot select the entire transaction
and delete it using the delete key on your keyboard. You can use
Transaction --> Delete Transaction menu item to delete an entire
transaction.
