Comment 1 for bug 486782

Hello,

Thanks for the report.

Unfortunately, I'm not able to reproduce this behavior on the latest version of Byobu.

From a bash shell prompt, I can type something like:
kirkland@x200:~$ one two three four five

And use ctrl-<left> and ctrl-<right> and move back and forth among the words.

A few questions for you:
 1) What version of byobu are you running? byobu -v
 2) Can you start from a pure, default byobu environment? Move your ~/.screenrc and ~/.byobu out of the way, and then launch 'byobu'. You should then have a clean, default configuration. Now try those keys.
