Hitting backspace at the start of a paragraph with indentation removes the 
indent.
Issue 46727 reports this as a bug, and has been closed with the comment that
this is a feature desired by users. However, some users consider this feature
counter-intuitive and confusing. I think that users who are familiar with
paragraph formatting and the use of stylesheets know to set indents in the
paragraph options, and would expect backspace at the start of a paragraph to
simply remove the paragraph break above and merge the current paragraph with the
previous one.

It would be nice to have a user-set option to switch this behaviour off, perhaps
in the Tools -> AutoCorrect -> Options tab.

There is also a bug in the feature as it stands, whereby formatting is removed
from both the current paragraph and the one above: see the Wed Apr 6 2005
comment on Issue 46727.
