Delete key stopped working

Hello, 

My delete key has all of a sudden stopped working.

Thought it might have been my keyboard so changed battery/swapped keyboard, re-started computer, tried other programs an not having the same issue so it is definitely InDesign.

Is anyone else having this issue?
