Delete (left) Is Not Repeating

[ash34]

Bug description

Using version 25.8.1329 on an iPad the delete key is not repeating.
Virtual cursor key repeats ok though.

Steps to reproduce

1. Use cursor up to select a previous command
2. Trying deleting some of it with the delete key (backspace key)
3. Only deletes one character at a time

Actually I noticed the problem in the previous release also but thought I was the faulty component.

Thanks for your report, I'll check and make a fix

Text buffer is empty when we use previous history for example. Empty because WebSSH doesn't know what to put in the buffer.

I'm searching a solution to resolve #642 and backspace repeat
