Description Apelete Seketeli 2010-02-28 14:49:12 UTC 
As reported by a Debian user:

My /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_key_theme is set to Emacs, so pressing
CTRL+W in any textbox should delete the last word.

Epiphany-browser works correctly in the address bar, but not in the textboxes
inside the page. This is very nasty bug rendering the package unusable for
people who expect CTRL+W to delete the last word.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Set gconf key /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_key_theme to Emacs
2) Type a word in a web page textbox
3) Press CTRL+W in that textbox

Expected result:
Word disappears.

Actual result:
Tab is closed.

This is actually a bug in WebKitGTK+. We have an almost finished patch for it, so it will be probably fixed for 1.3.0. The upstream bug is https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28257
