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 Text| ^^^^^^^^^ |

In a screen recording (top is QTextEdit, bottom is QLineEdit).
I'm happy to contribute a fix for this issue.
