Navigating by word in notepad reports incorrectly when encountering space followed by certain symbols

In notepad, navigate this by word:

/l /nfl /ndl /np

It treats the entire string as a word, instead of stopping at the slashes.

It seems that uniscribe doesn't treat a space followed by a slash as a word break, but Edit controls do.

This really is annoying and I doubt any editable text field would follow the apparent default uniscribe behaviour.
