Description
When I select text using C-space and delete it with C-w, the selection anchor remains active (an additional C-space is needed to untoggle it). C-w should untoggle the anchor.
Note that C-space followed by M-w has the desired behavior.

Research direction
Reproduce the behavior in DrRacket using C-space followed by C-w, and compare it with C-space followed by M-w. Trace the editor command handling for these key sequences; done means C-w deletes the selected text and also untoggles the selection anchor without requiring another C-space.
