Sorry, replying to my own mail, but thought I would add to it to clarify 
some things.  Just tried the label page again and can reproduce the bug. 
  Using the delete key, backspace key just doesn't work, if trying to 
remove already placed text.  It's as if those keys have been removed 
from the recognized list.

Was able to select "cut" from the menu though and remove all text and of 
course, the paste from the menu also worked.  Using the normal Linux KDE 
method of pasting with the middle mouse button still does not work, nor 
does working with the clipboard.  I don't think I have ever seen any 
highlighted text appear in the clipboard or maybe I did once.  ;o)

Me again
