For cursor position, you should use CTRL-Left. CTRL-SHIFT-Left is to
select word by word going backwards, if no forward selection has
already been performed.  You'll find the same behavior in Notepad and
MS Word, and many other editors.

Now, I see what you mean when being in the headers.

If a person selected the text going towards the right, then yes
CTRL-Shift-Left should unselect word by word while going towards the
left. But, it doesn't just move the cursor at the beginning of the
edit box, but selects from the first character up to where the cursor
is currently located.

The same observation can be made when selecting towards the left and
then using CTRL-Shift-Right to unselect while going towards the right,
it selects from the current cursor position all the way to the end of
the text, and the cursor positions itself at the end.

I can confirm this.  What happens is that for the edit boxes in the
header has to be specifically programmed for those behaviors.

I would suggest that you put this in the bug tracker, with as much
information and proper steps to recreate. If it's documented there,
RITLabs can't say nobody told them. Just verify, as well as you can,
that nobody already posted this bug before.
