@Rob: It would be good to also check the undo/redo drop down menus in the toolbar to check if the problem is in there as well.
OSX 10.10.1 LO nightly 2015-01-09 CONFIRMED
Something similar is also true for replacing a selection with a "space". type abc. select abc. Press space (replacing abc with a space). Undo reports "Insert $1". Bibisected: occurs in oldest version 3.5.
changed OS to all. I am reproducing this on Linux Mint/Maya (precise) and Mint/Rebecca (Trusty) using 5.1 dev. Reproduced on Windows 2003 Server with 4.3.7. (I'm typing 'turtle' in a new document, selecting it, and pressing Ctrl-X) (However, the abc replaced with space in Windows/4.3.7 says "replace 'abc' -> and not insert $1) Robinson: not sure how you got delete 'turtle' to work in 14.04. Bibisect-43all on Mint/Rebecca shows the problem as far back as "oldest" LO 3.5.
