Live View Text Editing Issues

Hi,
I just installed Dreamweaver 21.3, 15593 Build on a Windows 11 Pro 22H2 machine with 64 GB of RAM (36 GB free as of this writing). I have not made any settings changes: everything is at the defaults set by the Adobe installer. I installed it because of its 'Live View' editing abilities. I won't bore you with all of the hoops I have already jumped through. I've duplicated the bug with a default HTML 5 doc created within Dreamweaver which has a single p element with some lorem ipsum text within. I entered the text (absent single quote marks):
'there ffore'
within the lorem ipsum text.
I then placed the cursor between the two 'f 'characters and proceeded to press the following keys:
Backspace (first 'f' was deleted which was expected)
Backspace ('e' was deleted! not expected)
Delete (remaining 'f' was deleted! not expected)
Delete ('o' was deleted. I guess? expected)
Backspace ('r' was deleted! not expected)
Hopefully the attached video will make it all crystal clear.
As is obvious, this essentially means that for the purposes of editing text, the Live View is broken (which is hard to believe for such a simple and common use case as basic text editing). I know that I can edit within the design view, but that won't address that I want to have the ability to edit in Live View reliably for this workflow.
Thank you.
