Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

Firefox address bar do not use CTRL + SHIFT + ARROW KEY correctly. By pressing these keys (when the cursor is on the address bar), it selects the whole address and not just a part of it. For example, if the address bar says:

http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

and if I place the mouse and cursor to the end of the address and click CTRL + SHIFT + ARROW LEFT, it should select only the part "download" of the above mentioned address. However, the whole address is selected.

I am using Ubuntu 7.04 (no compiz etc.).

On 7.04, Firefox 2.0.0.6, ctrl + alt + arrow left selects everything to the left of the cursor, reverse for right.

this is the default firefox behaviour. try to change the setting layout.word_select.stop_at_punctuation to true in about:config (type this in location bar).
