Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: TB version 1.0+ (20050601)

When using control + right arrow, the movement between words is different than
when using the left arrow.  It appears that CRLF and punctuation characters are
not considered the end of a word when going to the right, but are when going to
the left.

Reproducible in both HTML and plain text format

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new email
2. Type "asdf"<enter>"asdf"<enter>"asdf"<enter> (without the quotation marks)
3. Place cursor at the beginning of the message
4. Press Ctrl+Right
5. Press Ctrl+Left
Actual Results:  
Step 4 moves cursor to the very end, and step 5 moves cursor to the left of the
last "asdf"

Expected Results:  
Step 4 moves cursor to the right of "asdf" on the first line, and step 5 moves
cursor back to its original location
