First, thank you for reporting this.
In line 326 of ed.defns.c in the tcsh source package is:
F_KILLREGION, /* ^W */
Ctrl + W is set to kill-region for the emacs mode, which is the default mode.
In VI mode, it is set to F_DELWORDPREV. I think this is the source of the
confusion.
kill-region "cuts" everything from the beginning of the line to the cursor,
while Ctrl + U just does the whole line. Such is the default behavior.
You can set your version shell variable to include "vi" to get back the
behavior I *think* you're used to.
I'll mark this as rejected, please reopen if you feel this to be incorrect.
** Changed in: tcsh (Ubuntu)
Status: Unconfirmed => Rejected
