Description

In rails editor, when trying to delete a selected text, the deletion fails if the selection includes any folded comment or block of code.

Steps to Reproduce:

- Open a ruby file

- Let say it contains a two-line comment such as :

# PUT /news/1
# PUT /news/1.xml

- If it's unfold, fold this comment

- Make a text selection including this folded comment

- Hit backspace

- The selected text is not deleted and the folded area is unfolded

The problem shows up for any folded area, should it be a comment or a block of code.

The problem doesn't occur if you delete the text with the "delete" key.

However it's really annoying because the scaffold generation creates two-line comments for each action, which are automatically folded in the editor.

Workarounds

Unfold any folded area before deleting selected text, or use the "delete" key.

---------

Use "Delete Line" command using [Ctrl+D] key binding on the folded lines.
