Description Behnam Esfahbod 2003-07-26 01:40:51 UTC 
I think it's more useful if Ctrl+Backspace (or Alt+Backspace) deletes
backward till first word-boundary in text-input widgets. (like
Alt+Backspace in new bash).
Comment 1 Owen Taylor 2003-07-31 13:54:57 UTC 
Are you saying:
 
 A) The key combination doesn't work at all for you?
    (bug 100439)

or:
  
 B) You don't like how it works?
Comment 2 Owen Taylor 2003-08-01 14:39:46 UTC 
Please reopen from NEEDINFO if you add more information.
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2004-08-05 23:53:34 UTC 
No response in a long time, closing.
Comment 4 Behdad Esfahbod 2004-08-06 00:48:44 UTC 
Works for me.  Just that, would be better if U+200C ZERO-WIDTH NON-JOINER is not
considered a word boundary.  Currently it is.
Comment 5 Owen Taylor 2004-08-06 13:38:14 UTC 
Behdad - can you check the ZWNJ behavior against what is specified
in UAX #29? (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118347).
See bug 97545. It's probably just a pango_break() bug.
