Ctrl+Left Arrow moves right, not left

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gedit

Pressing Ctrl+Left Arrow moves one word to the right, not
the left.

***Note: This only applies to the left arrow key on the
numeric keypad
(shared with the '4'). The left arrow key in the cluster of
arrow keys
in the separate keyboard section between the main keyboard
and the
numeric keypad operates correctly. ***

Thank you for your bug. Not sure if that's a bug, due to
gtk+2.0 though

Thanks for your bug report. I cannot reproduce the issue.
Which version
of Ubuntu and gedit do you use? Is this the case in other
applications
as well? Which locale do you use? Do you have any special
keyboard
configuration?

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your message. Ubuntu 6.10 (GNOME desktop
edition); gedit
2.16.1. My copy of Ubuntu seems up to date with all current
patches
etc.

The keyboard is a Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro. No
special
configuration that I'm aware of; I'm running everything out
of the
box. I use the same keyboard also on OpenBSD, FreeBSD,
Fedora 5, and
various Windows versions without any problems.

I did check the Ubuntu Keyboard Preferences. The keyboard
was
originally set to "Generic 104-key"; changing that
to "Microsoft
Internet Keyboard" made no difference in behavior. The
only Layout
Options setting that is switched on is "Shift with
numpad keys works
as in MS Windows"; switching this off made no
difference as far as
Ctrl+Left Arrow was concerned (although switching off did
disable the
Shift+numpad arrow text selection feature).

Virtually all other applications work correctly (for
example,
OpenOffice, MateEdit, Evolution, the source viewer in
Firefox, vi, and
also single-line edit boxes); the only other one that
misbehaves is
the GtkSourceView plugin in the Anjuta IDE.

Please note that this is specifically about the left arrow
key on the
numeric keypad (shared with the '4'); the standalone left
arrow key
has no problems.

Best wishes,
-- Ron.

Daniel, Sebastian:

The problem is indeed in GTK+, in gtk/gtktextview.c line 851
(as of GTK
2.10.6). There is an error in the way the key bindings are
set up:

  add_move_binding (binding_set, GDK_Right,
GDK_CONTROL_MASK,
                    GTK_MOVEMENT_WORDS, 1);
  add_move_binding (binding_set, GDK_KP_Right,
GDK_CONTROL_MASK,
                    GTK_MOVEMENT_WORDS, 1);
  add_move_binding (binding_set, GDK_Left,
GDK_CONTROL_MASK,
                    GTK_MOVEMENT_WORDS, -1);
  add_move_binding (binding_set, GDK_KP_Left,
GDK_CONTROL_MASK,
                    GTK_MOVEMENT_WORDS, 1);            
<<---- The last parameter should be -1
  
Is this something you can change in the GTK source code, or
do I have to submit this problem and solution elsewhere?

Thanks,
-- Ron.

When you open the bug upstream also could you mention it on
launchpad so
we can use a bug watch? The upstream URL
