Keyframe gets added when I try to delete an object off a frame

Hi, I'm trying to delete items from a keyframe. When I click Delete or Backspace, the item disappears, but a new keyframe is created. Is this a glitch?

    it is, unless you have customized the shortcuts. 

     

    what happens if you select an object and right click > click cut?

    I figured it out. I didn't realize that I had to be on the very first frame of the keyframe in order to make a text edit or else a new keyframe will get added. I'm new to Animate, just made the switch from Flash, and that was never an issue in Flash.

    correct, only keyframes (and tween-span frames) can show on-stage changes from the previous frame.
