    Description

      When executing QKeySequence::DeleteStartOfWord (Ctrl + Backspace) in a QLineEdit with text selected has unexpected behavior when compared to other inputs such as a QTextEdit (or browsers).

      The following table shows the different behavior when pressing Ctrl + Backspace. ^ shows the selection and | shows the cursor position.

      Input QLineEdit QTextEdit (and browsers) 
      Some Text|

      Some |

      Some |
      		 
      Some Text|
^^^^^^^^^

      |Text

      |(empty)
      		 
      Some Text|
     ^^^^

      Some |Text

      Some |
      		 
      Some Text|
    ^^^^^

      |(empty)

      Some|
      		 
      Some Text|
   ^^^^^^

      |(empty)

      Som|
      		 
      Some|

      |Some

      |(empty)

      In a screen recording (top is QTextEdit, bottom is QLineEdit).

      I'm happy to contribute a fix for this issue.
