Issue
When Ctrl-Backspaceing a command, if I press Ctrl-Backspace at the beginning of the line (with no text on the prompt, e.g. user@host$ , nothing happens (as expected) but either the next character I type is ignored, or the word I just erased is submitted. For example, if on a blank prompt I type "l s Ctrl-Backspace Ctrl-Backspace l", it's as if I pressed "l s Enter". And if I type "o o o Ctrl-Backspace Ctrl-Backspace o o", only one "o" appears on the prompt, and the first is ignored.
