Description Naba Kumar 2010-02-27 20:38:26 UTC 
Steps:

1. Put carat in front of whitespaces, like this:

"|     word"

2. ctrl+del.

Expected outcome:

It should delete the white spaces only. The word should be deleted only when carat is directly in front of it. This is also about the only way to delete a bunch of whitespaces together.

Actual outcome: The word gets deleted.

Same goes for ctrl+backspace as well.
Comment 2 Paolo Borelli 2010-02-27 21:00:08 UTC 
this is handled in gtktextview itself, reassigning.
