Hello -- I am new to all of this -- I was using labels -- I already set about 10 so far and wanted to remote the last one. I opened
the label editor, highted the last last one and clicked delete -- nothing happened -- the label remained -- is this a bug?

You need to click the "Remove" button.

An alternative way to delete labels is to click in the label text, delete the label text (Del or backspace) then when the text is all removed press Del or backspace once more. (if you click at one or other end of the text you can just hold the Del/backspace key down until all of the text and the label have been deleted).
