           Summary: In textfields, the cursor should move immediately
                    before a word when using ctrl-left, ctrl-right to
                    match other Windows textfields.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows 7
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML Editing
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: dtseng at google.com


1.  place focus on a textfield or textarea (i.e. google.com, search field).
2.  type a sentence (i.e. "this is a test").
3.  press ctrl-right several times and then ctrl-left several times.

What is the expected result?
each press of ctrl-right places cursor before next word.  Example:
this |is a test.
this is |a test.
this is a |test.

Currently, webkit places the cursor *after* the current word.
this| is a test.
this is| a test.
this is a| test.

This though consistent with Mac cursor movement, isn't in Windows.
