Attached patch fixes this issue. The only problem is that it makes start of 
each line a jump point. That can be fixed if the patch is wanted. do_next_word 
would need to move over whitespace after newlines. do_prev_word would need to 
move over whitespace and then move over newlines, which is more complicated 
than the do_next_word fix.
