Description Volkan 2013-04-22 23:13:31 UTC
Problem description: 

Using Ctrl+Backspace combination removes the word with the space between the deleted word and the previous word.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Write
2. Type at least two words
3. Go to end of the line
4. Use Ctrl+Backspace

Current behavior:

It also removes the space

Expected behavior:

As usual, this should only remove the word as the other applications do
              
Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.0.2.2 release

Help says:

Ctrl+Backspace 	Delete text to beginning of word

So the error report looks valid. The bug was inherited from OOo.
