Problem description: Using Ctrl+Backspace combination removes the word with the space between the deleted word and the previous word. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Write 2. Type at least two words 3. Go to end of the line 4. Use Ctrl+Backspace Current behavior: It also removes the space Expected behavior: As usual, this should only remove the word as the other applications do Operating System: Ubuntu Version: 4.0.2.2 release
Help says: https://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Shortcut_Keys_for_Writer Ctrl+Backspace Delete text to beginning of word So the error report looks valid. The bug was inherited from OOo.
It is an easy hack, see http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sw/source/ui/wrtsh/delete.cxx#DelPrvWord Try not to break the fix of https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=92468
