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.
