Description Carolyn MacLeod CLA 2016-09-11 23:03:35 EDT 
Go to the CodeEdit demo page: http://libingw.github.io/OrionCodeEdit/
Put the caret at the end of line 1 (either type End key, or click after the ; )
Now type ctrl+right arrow
The cursor "jumps" to the end of the word var.
Instead, it should just go to the beginning of line 2, before the word var.

This is a problem for accessibility because the first word ("var" in this case) is skipped entirely when reading by word.

Test this in Eclipse to see the difference. Moving forward by words in Eclipse always stops at the start of the line.
