using ctrl+arrow to move through text doesn't act as expected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. type a line into a text box and follow with several newlines
2. from the top left, use ctrl+right arrow to jump from word to word
Actual Results:  
it jumps from the start of the last word to the bottom of the box.

Expected Results:  
it should jump to the end of the line, then to each line after.
I cant reproduce, it works for me

try this:
1. in the comment box below enter "hello world" and then push enter a few times
2. put the cursor in the top left corner
3. push ctrl+rightarrow, this should put the cursor at the beginning of "world"
4. push ctrl+rightarrow, this should put the the cursor at the end of "world"

but it doesn't.  it drops the cursor to the bottom of the box, after all the newlines.
