Description

While editing filter's keyframes, pressing Del key do not delete the selected keyframe but this delete the entiere track. It's really surprising and different from all other video or audio editing software behavior I can think of in similar cases (Audacity, Ardour, Reaper, etc, and CAD softwares, Blender, etc)

Shotcut v20.11.28
