This is a common characteristic of many word processing programs.
MS dos edit and many others use that key combination to cut a line
of text to the buffer which will indeed replace whatever was in there.
If you want to remove a line without putting it in the buffer place
the cursor at the beginning of the line, hold the shift key then
press the end button (or use the mouse to highlight the desired text),
release the keys and hit delete. If you hold the shift key while the
text is highlighted and hit the delete key it too will cut the text
into the buffer.

In conclusion this is not a bug it is a feature.
