Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the deployed Nextcloud Mail app using the listed steps, then trace the frontend keyboard-shortcut handling for the Delete key after text selection or link clicks. Done means the message is deleted in both cases and the existing behavior remains correct when nothing inside the mail was clicked.
