Wow! When I changed my typing feedback to characters, my Orbit writer does tell me what I am backspacing, but it does something rather weird. When I backspace something, it puts in wesrd characters. I'm playing with it now trying to figure it out. When I typed in characters andthen backspaced it, it entered weird things. It now is working fine, but that was definitely weird. I'll play with this more later and let you know.
