It's just due to an inconsistent selection in the tree structure. You have to hit the key Escape (F2 on windows) to request Amaya to generate the corresponding consistent selection then you will be able to remove it. > Hi, > > I'd like to report this bug, which I've been observing occasionally. > Sometimes, it is not possible to delete a selected region containing > MathML.
