Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdepim

TESTCASE:
1. Open KMail composer ("New message")
2. Focus the body part
3. Type " foo bar" (leading space)
4. Go to the beginning of the line
5. Press Ctrl-Del
Expected result:
" foo" gets deleted, leaving "bar"
Actual result:
Nothing happens.

I've thought that I've seen this with other apps, but e.g. KRunner and Kate behave sane.
Also, Ctrl-Del works e.g. in KMail's subject field or the message list search bar.

Works now in KDE 4.3. Well, the leading space gets deleted first, and then after you press crtl + del again foo gets deleted, but in general it works.
