Research direction

No source file or test is named. First reproduce the behavior in micro using st on Debian 13 and confirm whether the Delete key moves the cursor to line and column (1, 2) and inserts an uppercase P. Done means identifying the relevant input-handling area and adding a regression test or fix that makes Delete behave normally.
