Firefox Quantum 68.4.2esr (64-bit) control-delete deletes span after whitespace
The following HTML is inside a text area div:
<wbr><span dir="ltr" class="code" data-id="3" data-ref="0" data-type="SC" data-isolated="false" draggable="false" data-text="span1" contenteditable="false">span1</span>a <span dir="ltr" class="code" data-id="0" data-ref="3" data-type="EC" data-isolated="false" draggable="false" data-text="span2" contenteditable="false">span2</span> b<span dir="ltr" class="code" data-id="2" data-ref="0" data-type="PH" data-isolated="true" draggable="false" data-text="span3" contenteditable="false">span3</span><wbr>
(The WBR elements shouldn't make a difference, but I need them in my test setup.)
Placing the cursor before the "a " and pressing control-delete causes not only the "a " to be deleted, but also span2 and the following space character. Similarly, placing it before "b" and pressing control-delete also deletes span3.
It is as if control-delete treated spans as whitespace, rather than as non-whitespace.

The HTML didn't get escaped, and I don't see a way to edit the description. Here is what I hope to be the correctly-escaped version:
<wbr><span dir="ltr" class="code" data-id="3" data-ref="0" data-type="SC" data-isolated="false" data-text="span1" draggable="false" contenteditable="false">span1</span>a <span dir="ltr" class="code" data-id="0" data-ref="3" data-type="EC" data-isolated="false" data-text="span2" draggable="false" contenteditable="false">span2</span> b<span dir="ltr" class="code" data-id="2" data-ref="0" data-type="PH" data-isolated="true" data-text="span3" draggable="false" contenteditable="false">span3</span><wbr>
Can't reproduce it. For me ctrl+del works as advertised: Deletes word to the right.

Control-delete should be deleting whitespace following the word to the right, in addition to the word to the right.
This bug does not occur in Firefox 60.7.0esr (64-bit) on CentOS 7. Perhaps it is Windows-specific. However, in that CentOS-7 environment, Firefox does fail to delete the whitespace following the word to the right.

I just tried this in the Nightly build, and the bug is still there. Is there a setting required?
See also the layout.word_select prefs on the about:config page.

Setting layout.word_select.eat_space_to_next_word does work around the bug. But Firefox shouldn't be treating a span as whitespace.

Do you happen to have layout.word_select.eat_space_to_next_word in about:config set to false?
