Comment:

 I don't think this is a bug. I don't/didn't know about
 ctrl+shift+backspace binding. But it looks like it does 'erase from cursor
 to beginning of line'.

 In the first case, the cursor is at the end of the selection, so
 everything gets removed. In the latter case, the cursor is just before
 'W', so everything before 'W' gets removed. So even though the same text
 is selected in both cases, the difference in the position of the cursor
 makes the difference.

 I am pretty sure this is a GTK+ thing that we can't/shouldn't really work
 around/'fix'.
