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

 

** Description changed:

  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.
- 
+ "Ctrl+W" to delete the word before the cursor, the chat window closes.
+ and when we open the chat window the written words are still present..
+ The strange thing is that "Ctrl+H" also not working.."ctrl+H" do
+ nothing.

  Matteo
