Improving CT_EDIT click/caret movement behavior
New, NormalPublic

Description

There are currently several annoying issues with CT_EDIT controls and their caret movement behavior:

  1. Double click: The selection behavior should be as follows:

instead it just selects all characters that are grouped together (no spaces).

  1. Ctrl+Left/Right: It jumps too arbitrarily and weird:
