98966 - Ctrl + {left|right} doesn't do what it should

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 98546

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

Description

[Ryan McLoughlin]

Win95 2001 09 04 08

Pressing Ctrl+left while editing the URL in the URL bar should move the text
pointer one word to the left, but instead it is moved all the way to the
lefthand side of the url.  I really think this is important.  I frequently have
a url like this in my url bar:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/mozilla-win32-talkback.zip

and I want to go to

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/

but I can't do it easily.

The IE url bar has done the right thing since at least version 4.0.
