362467 - Ctrl + Left/Right Arrow in location bar doesn't work on Linux. (Should move back/forward to next non-alphanumeric character)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 190615

(Firefox :: Keyboard Navigation, defect)

Description

[James Freiwirth]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20060601 Firefox/2.0 (Ubuntu-edgy)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20060601 Firefox/2.0 (Ubuntu-edgy)

Pressing Ctrl + Left/Right arrow within the location bar should treat the URL as logical words and move the caret back/forward to the next non-alphanumeric character.

This behaviour works as expected on Windows, but on Linux Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right moves the caret to the start and the end of the URL, respectively.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter http://www.google.com in the URL bar
2. Press End
3. Press Ctrl+Left.



Actual Results:  
Caret moves to the start of the URL.

Expected Results:  
Caret should move to the '.' before 'com'.

Until the default is changed, you can manually set layout.word_select.stop_at_punctuation to "true" in order to achieve the desired behavior.

Thanks Uri. This really ought to be default behaviour but that'll do fine for me.
