Bug Description

unity 3.6.6-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu Natty

1. Open the Dash.
2. Type "one two three".
3. Press Ctrl+Left.
4. Press Ctrl+Backspace.
5. Press Ctrl+Delete.

What happens:
3. The caret moves to the start of "three".
4. The preceding space character is deleted.
5. "t" is deleted.

What should happen:
4. "two" is deleted.
5. "three" is deleted.

It may save time to fix bug 737726 before this one; the same word navigation code is involved.
