Edit controls: Inconsistent Output when Navigating by Word #10846

Description

@elliott94

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open the Run dialog with Windows + R, and paste the following example URL: https://www.example.com/this-is-a-test

  2. Move focus back to the start of the just-typed URL, and hit ctrl + right to attempt to jump to the next word

Actual behavior:

When performing the above steps, NVDA announces part of the just-typed URL, but the output doesn't accurately reflect where the focus is positioned. In my example, when performing ctrl + right NVDA announces "https://www.example.com/this-" - however, focus is in fact before the word "this"

Expected behavior:

NVDA should only output the position of the cursor, and not part of the entire URL
