Problem with editor - CTRL key erases selected text

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hello,

I re-tested this behavior again on my Ubuntu 20.04 virtual machine and I am 
not able to reproduce it. Everything works as expected. However, I am using 
eric in a Python virtual environment with newer Qt/PyQt than provide with 
Ubuntu 20.04.
