Selecting text and pressing "delete" does not delete the selected text when the text cursor is at end of line

WHAT IS THE BUG

When editing a Page, suppose I want to delete a region. I select the text in a line with keyboard shortcuts and press delete. What happens next depends on where the text cursor is when I press ‘delete’.

If the cursor is before the selected text, then the selected text is deleted.
If the cursor is after the selected text, then the new-line is deleted and the line is merged with the subsequent line.

HOW TO REPRODUCE IT

1. create a page
2. write the following text as two separate lines:

abra
cadabra

3. place the text cursor on the "abra’ line.
4. press Home to move the cursor to the beginning of the line
5. press ctrl-shift-end to select the text “abra”
6. press delete
7. observe that instead of deleting the selected text, you now have a single line with the text “abracadabra”

THE EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

The text “abra” should be deleted and the line should remain empty.
