Can you please give a few more specifics. Also, try in Safe Mode. The steps to reproduce are important and not just for fun.

Are you seeing Bug 462700?

I saw Bug 462700 before filing this. The report says it works as expected when the cursor is in a line on Linux with a gtk theme. On Mac OS X, Ctrl-K does not work even when the cursor is in the middle of a line.

Here are some examples of Ctrl-K in safe-mode.

Type "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet," and place the cursor just after "ipsum".
Press Ctrl-K. It kills "orem ipsum" leaving "L dolor sit amet,".

Type "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet," and place the cursor after any space.
Press Ctrl-K, and it kills the space before the cursor.

Type "我が輩は猫である。名前はまだない。" and place the cursor between "。" and "名".
Press Ctrl-K, and it kills "は猫である。" leaving "我が輩名前はまだない。"
