Is it normal for the Delete key not to work when trying to rename a DB/table in SSMS?

I try to rename a database or a table in SSMS 2014 (with CU6 applied), by clicking and selecting the DB or table in the Object Explorer and then pressing F2 to edit the name. The Delete key on my keyboard will not delete the character to the right of the cursor or whatever is selected.

Is this just a problem on my end or did I find one heck of a bug?
