Ctrl+Left/Right navigates incorrectly in Dash search field

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

1. Open the Dash.
2. Type "one two three".
3. Press Ctrl Left.
4. Press Ctrl Left again.

What happens:
2. The caret moves to the start of "three".
3. The caret moves to the end of "two".

What should happen:
2. The caret moves to the start of "three".
3. The caret moves to the start of "two".

Navigating by word does not mean navigating to the nearest beginning/end of a word. It means navigating to the nearest boundary between alphanumeric characters and non-alphanumeric characters, *unless* that nearest boundary is only one character away or there's nothing except whitespace characters between it and the caret, in which case it means skipping to the boundary beyond that.

Problem occurs in: unity 3.6.6-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu Natty
Does not occur in: LibreOffice, GEdit, Tomboy

I think this is a bug in Nux because the input is handled by TextEntry.
The problem seems to be in the TextEntry::MoveWords method. I will try to submit a patch.
