Using 24.2, type:
onto to
Then do:
C-a C-s to
It highlights the first occurrence of "to" as the current match, and the second as the next match.
Then do: M-s w
Now, if you type a space, it continues in word mode as expected, but if instead you backspace over the o, it exits word mode. It shouldn't do that.
This same problem applies to case-sensitivity mode (M-c) too.
