 ### Fixed
 
+- Delete key now respects cell-range selection in the data grid, removing all rows covered by the selection instead of ignoring it.
+- Right-clicking inside a multi-row or cell-range selection no longer collapses the selection before the context menu appears.
 - Oracle connections no longer crash the app during connect. A short or unexpected handshake packet from the server (such as session-setup metadata or an error) now surfaces the error or continues instead of trapping. (#1683)
 - MongoDB filters on `_id` and other ObjectId fields now match. A 24-character hex value is matched as an ObjectId as well as a string, so filtering by `_id` returns the row instead of nothing. (#1682)
 - The sidebar and inspector keep their width per connection, the sidebar keeps its collapsed state, and the inspector keeps its selected tab, when you quit and reopen the app.
