And also clarify what your expectations were. Nobody can diagnose
"unexpected results show" without knowing what was there before,
where your cursor was, what you expected to get, and what you
actually got.
In terms of the functionality of cw, how you got to the word (your
use of /) won't matter, except in so far as it determines where your
cursor is relative to the start/end of the word.
