#907 Graph editor delete term (using eraser icon) sometimes fails
Hi,
I am not able to delete terms in the graph editor. I select the term and then choose the delete icon and click the term and nothing happens. This is the same with or without checking box to 'permenantly destroy term'.
This is b53 on windows xp.

This worked in b49, didn't work starting in b50.
Sorry, my last comment turns out to be incorrect.
It looks like in all versions that I tested (b49, b50, b54), the eraser SOMETIMES works (when it's a term with no children, and therefore legal to delete) but sometimes fails (nothing happens), even when the term has no children and thus should be deletable.
I just commented on a different item reporting essentially the same thing, but now I can't find it, so I'll comment here too.
Testing b53 on OS X 10.5.6, I have yet to see it fail to delete if I target a legal target, i.e. a term without children. So, I can't duplicate that issue.
However, the fact that if you try to delete a "non-legal" target (a term with 1 or more children), it just does nothing and does not even give you a pop-up window explaining why not is BAD. If you try this, it should pop up a window explaining why it isn't doing anything.

Same as bug report 2009097--Erase in Graph Editor doesn't work on nodes (with children).
