Title:
  Ctrl+Delete operation is too greedy

Status in GTK+ GUI Toolkit:
  New
Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gedit

  The Ctrl+Delete action is too greedy, it deletes muc more than I
  expect and more than any other application I have used.

  In gedit, it seems to delete all non-alphanumeric characters, plus the
  next "word". Normally this function only deletes one set of
  characters. For example, if you have the string:

  ..... aaaaa bbbbb

  Then using Ctrl+Delete from the start of the line should only delete
  the punctuation and space. In gedit, however, it also deletes the set
  of a's.

  Similar things happens for Ctrl+Left or Ctrl+Right - the cursor moves
  a lot further than it should.
