Pressing the delete key just leaves a gap clip. Why?

I am having a strange bug. When I press the delete key to delete a clip on the timeline it leaves a gap clip. I haven't modified the keys and I reset preferences. This is happening on two of my computers (office / home) after updating to 10.5.4. If I go to delete from the tab it works correctly. It deletes the clip. Can someone please give me an ideal what I am doing wrong or what is going on? Thanks and stay safe, strong and healthy.

Which Delete key are you using? The Delete next to = is remove clip. On an extended keyboard the Delete next to the keypad is forward delete and equivalent to Shift-Delete and is replace with gap clip.

Hello Mr. Wolsky! I am using the delete key under the insert key on a Logitect MX Keys wireless keyboard. The other delete key on the right next to the "+" just places a dot. It doesn't remove clips. I wonder if it has to do with the Chinese system I have to use here in Taiwan.

I found the problem. The problem relates to the Chinese system I have to use when working with Asian languages. I have to create a lot of translations and the double-btye language codes sometime causes problems. Thanks for your help.
