Package: gedit Version: 2.14.4-8 If i have a block of text in a plain text file like this:
****** ******** kjdksfjklsdjfkldsj 111111111 2222222222 3333333333 ########## aaaa aaa aa kjdksfjklsdjfkldsj * ******** ****** ** I can't use ctrl+left-arrow to jump from the 'k' in the first line to the beginning of the line. Similarly from the first 'a' in line 3 to the start of that line. Yet I can do this when the text consists of regular alphanumeric characters such as the 1's in line 2. I would want to do this kind of of operation when using ctrl+shift+left-arrow to highlight text for copying. If I were at the first 'a' in line 3 and used ctrl+left-arrow it would put the cursor at the first '3' in line 2, rather than at the first '#' in line 3; which is what it would do were I to do this at the first '2' in line 2. Perhaps this relates to why I am seeing the latter bug. ctrl+left-arrow from the end of line 4 would take me to the beginning of line 4 rather than to the next space amongst the '*'.
