Problems selecting text with [shift]+[left arrow] #209

When I attempt to select text using shift + left arrow I cannot select more than one character.

  • The first left arrow does not move the cursor but selects the previous character
  • The second left arrow moved the cursor left and cancels the selection

This appears only to happen when the first character to the left of the cursor is alphanumeric. If the cursor is placed after a non-alphanumeric character (full stop, bracket, quote mark, etc) the selection works as expected, even continuing through other alphanumeric characters.
