Hi! Thank you for your bug report. The editor on the example site which you've tested on is CKEditor 4, which is much different than CKEditor 5 (you can test it here - https://ckeditor.com/ckeditor-5-builds/). All bugs related to CKEditor 4 should be reported in proper repository - https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor-dev.
I'd also like to encourage you to read more about difference between CKEditor 4 and CKEditor 5. You can find the comparison here - https://support.ckeditor.com/hc/en-us/sections/115001489149-The-CKEditor-4-and-CKEditor-5-Comparison.
I checked your issue and indeed, the caret doesn't stop on dots while navigating with Ctrl + Arrow, but this is not because of the editor. It's a browser issue, which occurs on Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera. Works fine on Edge and IE11. You can check it with simple <div contenteditable="true"> - https://jsfiddle.net/t6zqg28d/.
As it works properly on Edge and IE11, is it in our plans to change this behaviour on other browsers?

Overriding such native behaviours is always risky. The main problem here is the countless languages that we'd need to support (where there are no periods or words are differently separated). So, while this is technically possible, I don't think that we'd like to touch this.

I think that we can close this bug report with "wontfix", although, it'd be good to check if this is reported for Blink, Webkit and Gecko.
