Backspace deletes complete words [message #17132]

Hi!

After updating from SuSE 8.1 to 8.2 the behavior of the Backspace key in
Eclipse has changed. Instead of deleting a single character the
preceding word (keyword, variable name etc.) is deleted.
I have not changed any setting in Eclipse, so I guess it has something
to do with the X11 settings. But I can't find anything and Eclipse is
the only application with this behavior. In any other application I have
used (xterm, emacs, vi, mozilla, ...) Backspace still deletes only one
character.
Any idea what is happening here and how to fix it? Thanks!

Uwe
