#80 When error/warning line is highlighted, 'delete' doesn't clear it.
Version: 5.4.2 RC9
Steps needed to reproduce the problem: Compile something that gets one or more warnings/errors. The compiler window will pop-open; the Editor cursor will be moved to the position of the warning/error; and the cursor's line will be highlighted. This highlight will disappear when any 'typing' key is pressed.. except 'delete' key; the line remains highlighted. (Even 'backspace' clears the highlight).

Currently, the highlight is removed when the caret changes. What about removing it when the text changes?
Yes, text-change makes more sense; caret-change seems arbitrary, since the user is thinking, "I'm typing now", rather than "I'm moving the cursor position, or not".

I found that both delete and backspace do not remove the error highlight. Other white space changes do remove the highlight (tab, space).
See the attached image for an example of backspace not removing the highlight. I compiled and then pressed backspace once to produce that screenshot.
Thanks
