Steps to reproduce:

Type a partial URL in the location bar.
Down-arrow to select one of the suggestions - e.g. http://example.com/~zao/foo.png
Press ctrl-backspace to rub out the last word in the URL.


Actual results:

The last word "png" is selected, not erased, placing the caret between the period and the word.
Subsequent presses of ctrl-backspace erases to the left of the selection, removing "foo.", "zao/", etc.


Expected results:

The last word "png" should have been erased.
The proper behaviour can be observed by pressing ctrl-backspace while typing normally, without having used the suggestion list.
