This has been driving me crazy, and I can't seem to adjust my Google searches to figure it out. It seems to me like Google has changed something in a recent version of Chrome, and I want to see if it's just me or for everyone.

But let me go back. In Windows, when you're working in text, say you're at the beginning of a line, and you want to skip forward to the middle using the keyboard. Most of the time I use Ctrl+RightArrow to skip forward word by word.

Now, in Windows, the behavior has always been to put the cursor at the start of the next word. In Google's Chrome browser, the behavior was always to put it at the end. There are things I appreciate about both ways of doing it, and I've gotten used to it over the time I've been a Chrome user.

However, within the last week I've noticed that Chrome now mimics the way that Windows does this.

Mostly, I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed the same thing, to prove that I'm not crazy. Or, at least to make sure my computer isn't the batty one, could you Chrome users test this out and see how it works for you? If you need me to better describe what I'm doing, let me know.
