What's Wrong?
Deleting a prompt that ends with a question mark leaves the last letter and the question mark, and instead invokes the "?" option without deleting the letter.
To reproduce, write "How are you?", position your cursor at the beginning of the prompt and keep "Del" pressed. Once you have only "u?" left, the "?" option will shortly activate, then deactivate, but the text will be left intact. The same happens if you then position your cursor between the "u" and "?" and try "Backspace".
What Should Happen?
The prompt text should be fully deleted.
