Details

In editor or in a textarea, type some short lines of text and then ctrl+left 
and ctrl+right through those lines.  Notice that ctrl+right stops at the end of 
each line (as well as at the beginning) but ctrl+left doesn't.  This causes 
ctrl+left to go through the document more quickly than ctrl+right.
In notepad and wordpad, ctrl+right and ctrl+left stop at the beginning and end 
of each line.

Target Milestone: --- → mozilla1.0
On Windows 2000 SP 2 with build 2001062904, ctrl-left/ctrl-right both move to
the beginning of the previous/next word, so they move through a document at the
same speed. However, if I continue typing ctrl-left it will not move past the
beginning of the line. If I continue typing ctrl-right it will not move past the
end of a paragraph (a hard return, for example right here) ->

Also, the left and control-left keys do not work after you use the mouse to
position the cursor at the end of a paragraph (a hard return) or the end of the
text. Also, the right key stops at the end of a paragraph no matter how the
cursor gets there.

If any of these explanations are not clear and you need step-by-step
instructions for re-creating any of these 5 problems, let me know!
Steve: see bug 88164, "Plaintext editor keyboard navigation is hosed".  That's a
more recent bug.
Yes, now the only bug remaining is that ctrl-left does not stop at the end of
wrapped lines (it does stop at the hard returns).
