RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
In pango (tested it in gedit and firefox), the deletion with DELETE key, is not following the rule of deleting entire composed character with a single key press. It is deleting each of the character in a composed character, one by one.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pango-1.28.1-3.el6.x86_64
pangomm-2.26.0-1.el6.x86_64
gedit-2.28.4-3.el6.x86_64
firefox-3.6.8-1.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open gedit or firefox in mr_IN locale
2. Activate ibus with CTRL+SPACE. Select marathi - Inscript
3. Type : kdk (which means consonant KA + Halant + Consonant KA)
4. Position the cursor at the beginning point of the composed character.
5. Now, press DELETE key. (It needs 3 key strokes to delete the whole character, but it should be done with a single key stroke in fact)

Actual results:
Delete composed character is happening in wrong manner. Actually it is now following the convention (Rule) of BACKSPACE, when deleting a composed character comes into picture.

Expected results:
It should delete the whole composed character in one DELETE key stroke when cursor positions at the start of the composed character.

Additional info:

OS : RHEL6-Workstation-Snapshot-13
Arch : x86_64
