Henry, I can confirm, the deleteLine behavior changed in dg2. Inside the dg2 library, deleteLine and deleteLines are different handlers now (deleteLine is managing some animation now according to the comment I've seen in the code). Inside dg1, deleteLine was just calling deleteLines. Same remark with the deleteIndex and deleteIndexes command.
Inside DGH I've changed deleteLine for deleteLines for fixing a bug but I did not read the documentation. This is probably something to update inside the documentation with a warn about ascendant compatibility.
