Backspace doesn't delete region

[cpitclaudel]

Markdown mode's redefinition of <backspace> doesn't handle the case in which a region is selected before pressing backspace. In that case, the plain Emacs implementation deletes the full region, whereas markdown-mode only unindents.

To reproduce, create a new md file and insert three blank lines, followed by a line containing 8 spaces. Select all text, then press backspace. The issue only exists when the last line contains whitespace.

Seems fixed to me, so I'm closing this. Please reopen if not. As always, thanks for the report!
