In File Manager, while editing a file, I cannot erase text  
on Android. I’ve tried Chrome and Firefox. I press the erase key on the softkeyboard but nothing happens.

It looks it is a monstaFTP bug that has with touch pads or soft keyboard. I also have this problem while editing files via mobile.

Ok, for some reason the Japanese keyboard, unlike the English keyboard, does work ok (I live in Japan so good for me). If I use the “alphabet mode” in the Japanese keyboard I can erase text no problem. But it should also work for any type of keyboard. I tried the Spanish one and it doesn’t work either.

Like you say BayoDino, it must be a monstaFTP problem.
