It already does; it just does not treat "/" as a word separator (because it's not).

Comment 2

[Rack]

****.  Good point.  I suppose I could say that my preference differs and this
should be user-definable, but that's not going to happen is it? =)

-> urlbar

Comment 4

[Andreas Kunz]

Rack, in current builds it seems to work: Ctrl-Left/Right jump inside the URL,
EVEN from slash to slash (as opposed to comment #1).
Do you also think it works?

Comment 5

-> NEW

This one works on Windows, but does not on Linux. I don't think this is
intended, is it?

Comment 6

[Steven Garrity [:sgarrity]]

This is still an issue on Linux - Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right should treat slashes
(/) as delimeters.

Comment 7

[Alan Tam]

Assigner is "gone"? So who will take the bug?

Comment 8

[Jesse Ruderman]

Dup of bug 245708?

Comment 9

[Alan Tam]

Verified that the workaround as found in bug 190615 fixes the problem.
I think this bug should dupe directly to bug 190615.
