  Thanks for your question.  This problem is being corrected in the
forthcoming Allegro CL 6.2 release.  Please try the following as a
patch for the 6.1 release.  Take the following contents and put it
into a file, e.g., charpatch.cl; then compile that file; then load it
into Lisp.  Example:

 > (compile-file "charpatch.cl")
 > (load "charpatch.fasl")


charpatch.cl contents:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

(in-package :text-edit)

(defmethod simple-insert-character :after ((pane text-edit-pane) char)
  (declare (ignore char))
  (invalidate-window pane))

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

  This problem seems to be with the Rich Edit control being used.
Allegro CL comes with a generic Rich Edit control.  You can cause Lisp
to use your platform's specific Rich Edit control instead by doing the
following:

Start Allegro CL (ANSI)  [without the IDE].

At the prompt, type the following, which renames Allegro Rich Edit control:

 CL-USER: (rename-file #p"sys:cg;aclre32.dll" #p"sys:cg;aclre32.dll-bak")

Exit Allegro CL

Then, try restarting Allegro CL with the IDE and see if the problems
(e.g., double backspace) still occurs.
