FWIW: I never have anyproblems deleting - I do as suggested below, but
1/ Always do it _backwards_ - ie from right to left (or bottom to top, depending on the
size of the area selected): the Newt never sees that as a letter
2/ start outside the highlighted/selected area - even on the button bar if necessary
3/ do it at speed: too slow (ie normal writing speed) and it may get inserted as 'ink
text'.
Hope this is of some help,
Best Regards

I had and still have this issue on occasion. You have to go back and forth like /\/\/,
the key is the amount of times that
you zizzag. I think the newt recognizes a delete when you go back and forth more than 4
times, the lines should be straight
with a sharp reverse in direction like this /\/\/ (don't lift though). I find that if I
scribble it out like I
would on paper the newt doesn't recognize the delete and it tries to turn it in to text,
if I use the Newt scribble it
deletes it.
