May not be a bug, but it’s a bit odd: In the script editor, pressing ctrl+left or ctrl+right to move around by word seems to skip to the next alphanumeric character, rather than to the next word boundary.  
  
For example, in this text:  
FoundText + “\*” + x  
  
If the caret is at the very start and you press ctrl+right, the caret jumps to the start of the x - pretty strange. It should jump to the first +.
