[Bug 912872] [NEW] C-W does not delete word before cursor

 

Public bug reported:

Don't know if it is a problem of Empathy or not, but each time I press
C-W to delete the word before the cursor, the chat window closes. The
strange thing is that C-H (<delete the character before the cursor>)
works fine.

Is this the expected behaviour? I am asking this because I'm using the
"Emacs" gtk-key-theme as explained here [1], and consequently I guess
C-W while inside a text-input should actually edit text and not close
focused window.

Matteo
