(Firefox :: Keyboard Navigation, defect)

Description

[Lukas Vacek]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071204 Ubuntu/7.10 (gutsy) Firefox/2.0.0.11
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071204 Ubuntu/7.10 (gutsy) Firefox/2.0.0.11

If you hit CTRL-backspace in location bar you get frustrated, see expected results.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open firefox
2. type some URL, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/something
3. and hit ctrl-backspace
Actual Results:  
URL is deleted at all

Expected Results:  
delete the last part of url (to preceding slash)

This is expected behaviour in Linux (more specifically in gnome and KDE). Epiphany, Nautilus, Konqueror all do behave this way.

According to bug 404356, should be fixed on trunk (for Firefox 3) by the patch in bug 190615
