Research direction
Reproduce the issue by opening file.txt with micro on Windows 10 in PowerShell 6.2.3 and pressing Ctrl+Up repeatedly across words. Start by locating the handling for cursor-control keys, then verify that navigation advances word by word rather than jumping to the last word in the line. Done means the reported shortcut behaves as expected without regressing other cursor movement.
