1672	backward_delete removes 1 char too much	gotar	angel_il	"CK_InputBackwardDelete (usually alt-backspace) since 4.6.2 removes one character too much on word boundaries, e.g. commandline:

a) /usr/share/man/man1[alt-backspace]
b) blabla..blabla..blabla[alt-backspace]

results in

a) /usr/share/man
b) blabla..blabla.

instead of

a) /usr/share/man/ (with trailing slash)
b) blabla..blabla.. (with two of two dots)

The second case is better to explain, as '......' string itself is truncated all (with no single dot mark left). There's no rationale to truncate '''..aaa..'''[alt-backspace] to '''.''' (it's all or none).

Moreover former (i.e. till 4.6.1) behaviour would be consistent with editor (CK_Delete_Word_Left -> edit_left_delete_word).

The current one makes it more difficult to modify command-line paths, as one have to add '/' by hand (while even double '//' would do no harm)."	defect	closed	minor		mc-core		duplicate					no branch
