Backspace as 'Back key' clashes with address editing

Hi gang!

I think I found a small bug. To make it easier on me to go back to a previous page I re-configured my keyboard shortcuts and added the backspace key to the 'Back' option. This allows me to press Backspace and Opera will go back to the previous page, so far so good.

Now I noticed that when I'm editing the address field the Back option still takes precedence. The moment I press the backspace key to remove parts of the URL (in specific: &page=x, trying to change the x) then Opera responds by loading the previous page.

I think this is a bug, because obviously the regular editing capabilities should apply when editing the address bar.
