Description

The "delete the selection" algorithm states in step 32.4.1:

[..] let parent equal end block, then remove end block from parent, then set end block to parent.

I'm fairly certain this should state "let parent equal end block's parent".

Research direction

Start at step 32.4.1 of the “delete the selection” algorithm, specifically the statement about setting parent and removing end block. Verify the wording against the algorithm’s intended parent relationship and update the specification text if confirmed. Done means the step is unambiguous and accurately describes the parent used for removal.
