[b]Smart Client Insert/Overwrite mode[/b]
In smart client, you can now switch between insert and overwrite mode with the insert key. By default, datefields are in overwrite mode as they always were but now a field that is in overwrite mode will not delete characters by pressing delete or backspace. The cursor will just move one character to the left. You still can delete everything by selecting it all and pressing delete. All other fields are by default in insert mode, but can now be switched to overwrite.

I just wanted to report a bug, because of the above situation.
Default mode is insertmode, but often a wrong date is entered in a calenderfield.
But when using the backspace key, it doesn't delete the characters already entered.
In all other programs backspace removes a character, but not in a servoy calenderfield. My end-users do not understand this.
Can you make this optional, so that we can decide ourselves how Servoy should react on a backspace in calenderfield.
