MATLAB: Does the “Delete” key not have an effect in PDETOOL in the Partial Differential Equation Toolbox 1.0.5 (R14)

I am using MATLAB on a Windows machine that has been set to use the Japanese locale. In the Draw mode of the PDETOOL GUI, I am unable to delete any geometric objects using the Delete key. Using the Delete key has no effect.

This bug has been fixed in Release 14 Service Pack 3 (R14SP3). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:
We have verified that there is a bug in the Partial Differential Equation Toolbox 1.0.5 (R14) and later versions that affects the way the Delete key is handled in PDETOOL in Japanese Windows.
To work around this issue, use the Backspace key instead of the Delete key.
