I've upgraded my Ubuntu laptop to Feisty, and now when I press Control-Left or Control-Right instead of moving to the next/previous word (as it did in Edgy and as far as I recall Sarge too) I just get ;5D and ;5C. Does anyone know how to fix that?

I have this in /etc/inputrc:

# mappings for Ctrl-left-arrow and Ctrl-right-arrow for word moving
"\e[1;5C": forward-word
"\e[1;5D": backward-word
"\e[5C": forward-word
"\e[5D": backward-word
"\e\e[C": forward-word
"\e\e[D": backward-word

Maybe related to this bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=337252 ?

Aha, yes. Thanks.

Unrelated to your bug, but alt-f and alt-b should do the same thing

I find that particularly annoying inside Scratchbox,  though that's probably Maemo's fault.

ESC {left,right} arrow works too.
