Shift + Delete not working on Previous Entries

Please see the attached image. If I double click on a form to get the drop down menu of previous entries, hover over the one I wish to delete, press shift+delete, it is supposed to be removed. But this isn't happening on any forms whatsoever. When I click shift+delete, the previous entry dropdown simply disappears, and I am back to square one. Hoping someone has seen this before and knows how to fix it, as I have not been able to find a solution anywhere online.

Hi  !

Maybe you could try it this way :

Highlight an entry in the drop-down list with the mouse or cursor Down key, (do not click the mouse or press the Enter key) Then press the Delete key to delete the highlighted entry

You can also check this :

3-bar menu (or 'Tools') => Options => Privacy & Security : under Forms & Passwords => 'Saved Logins'
