Hitting the Delete key twice removes three characters.

Hey Jetbrains team, I really love my Pycharm IDE. But to be honest, I'm getting crazy with delete key behavior. When I press the delete key twice to remove 2 characters, it removes 3 characters. I tried with other apps, but this case only happens on PyCharm. Please, I really appreciate it if you could help me. 

(I have a MacBookPro with Ventura OS)

Please create a new bug report on Youtrack and provide the IDE logs from Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data

Also, if possible share a screencast reproducing the behavior

Had this problem with IntelliJ in MacOS Sequoia.

Google AI showed me this solution:

Step-by-Step Fix

  1. Open IntelliJ.
  2. From the main menu, go to Help > Edit Custom Properties (if prompted to create a new file, select yes).
  3. Add the following line to the file:
    com.jetbrains.use.old.keyevent.processing=true
  4. Save the file and restart the IDE.

Restarted IntelliJ and it worked. Restarted the computer, still works. Hope this finally fixes it.

Also fixed a problem I had with selecting multiple rows by double clicking Option, then pressing the down arrow. It would only allow me to select 3 rows, now I can grow the selection further.
