Deleting infoboxes with a simple backspace has been disabled, but this is still somewhat reproducible, if you select an area (for example the infobox _and_ the bold T) in step 2.

In short: The problem is more hidden, but the underlying issue has not been fixed.

This was fixed in gerrit 115759 as part of fixing bug 57552.
