Deleting a selected item

Sorry for being a rookie on version 8, but I look through the documentation and am still having a problem.  (I did this in version 6 all the time.)
1) If I capture a graphic (say entire screen)
2) I select a rectangle inside the above graphic and hit the delete key on my keyboard the rectangle does not go away.
       * Select - Click Cut (or the delete key on my keyboard)  - it does not go away.
       * Select - Move the mouse, the rectangle creates a copy that is moved with the mouse, but the original stays in place.
 
Is there a way (like in version 6) where 
       * Select - Click Cut (or the delete key on my keyboard) and the rectangle goes away a leaves a white rectangle?
       * Select - Move the mouse, the rectangle original location goes away (leaves a white spot) and the original is moved with
          the mouse?
 
Thanks in advance for any help.

Could I have some setting wrong?
 
Because when I
   * Pressed Select tool on the Edit ribbon tab
   * Selected a rectangle  ( I see a dotted box around the rectangle)
   * Then pressed Delete
The dotted box around the rectangle goes away but the rectangle itself is not deleted.  
 
Again - could I have some setting wrong?

Version 8.11.03 (64 bit)

The speech recognition prompt is easy to fix - click the Setup ribbon tab, then click the "Voice" button to turn off voice commands. For the other problem, the delete or "Cut" command not working, I have no idea how to reproduce it. I'm using version 8.12.00, but 8.11 also worked OK for me with that command.
 
Please maybe email me as attachment your HyperSnap 8 configuration file - under the Setup ribbon tab, click "Save CFG" button, and email me the file you saved there. Maybe when I set my config exactly as yours, I could discover something.
 
Also please capture something from the screen in HyperSnap 8, then immediately a after this capture, press the Image ribbon tab, "Resize" button and tell me what exactly does it say in the "Color" box. Usually it should be "32 Bit Color", but please tell me exactly what it displays there on your computer.

Thanks so much - That solved my problem!  I was going crazy trying to make it work.  
 
I've been using HyperSnap for many many years.  It allows me to make bids on writing computer programs that non computer people understand and keep track of all kids of things either for 10 minutes or a lifetime.  
 
Greg - you have made it work for me again.
 
Thanks

Found the answer
 
Ribbon --> Capture / Capture Settings / Capture Tab / Default Background Color
 

LarryJoRay,
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, you have solved a problem I have had for the past "x" iterations of hypersnap !
the DEFAULT BACKGROUND COLOR transparency !
I have used this program for many years, and am always learning new stuff, but for the life of me I could not figure out why, when I would try to DELETE an area, the transpareency slider would never hold , and was always transparent !!
I would try to cut stuff out of image, etc, had to always go bck and set the slider !
 
NOW I know hwere to set the default, to keep it totally opaque !
