They didn't remove the "delete" function until 4.3 and this is only for
those people using the "generic" file dialog (you typically won't see
the generic file dialog if you are using KDE or Gnome).

I am attaching a picture of what the generic dialog looks like in 4.2-
you can delete files by pressing <Delete> or by right clicking.

You are not objecting probably because you still have the option to
remove a file in some way, which people using the newly "improved"
generic file dialog cannot.  I don't think you are even using the
generic one and thus this doesn't even affect you.  But it does affect
me at work, and all my users, who will now be forced to open a separate
file manager PROGRAM (such as Thunar) just to delete a file.

Title:
  [Upstream] LibreOffice Load/Save dialogue boxes delete files but dont
  use Trash

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  Fix Released
Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite:
  Unknown
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in openoffice.org package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openoffice.org

  If, in Tools > Options...> OpenOffice.org > General, you have 'Use
  OpenOffice.org dialogue boxes' checked, you get dialogue boxes that
  allow you to right click and Delete.  Files deleted like this do not
  go to the Deleted Items folder.  This is dangerous because users can
  assume the behaviour is the same as in Nautilus.
