Description
What version of Racket are you using?
Welcome to DrRacket, version 8.3 [cs].
What program did you run?
#lang racket/gui
(define f (instantiate frame% ("Test")))
(define tf (instantiate text-field% ("Entry:" f)))
(send f show #t)
What should have happened?
On Windows:
Ctrl+left arrow should move the cursor back a word at a time and
Ctrl+right arrow should move the cursor forward a word at a time.
On Mac:
Alt+left arrow should move the cursor back a word at a time and
Alt+right arrow should move the cursor forward a word at a time.
If you got an error message, please include it here.
Not an error per se, but used to work in 8.2.
Please include any other relevant details
Was this intentional? If so, how do we implement the old behavior?

Research direction
Start with the supplied #lang racket/gui example and the text-field% entry point, then compare keyboard handling between Racket 8.2 and 8.3. Reproduce the Ctrl/Alt arrow behavior on the relevant platforms and confirm that word-wise cursor movement is restored without changing other text-field shortcuts.
