textInfo.expand(paragraph) works incorrectly in Chrome.

[mltony]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open any github issue in Chrome and navigate to comment edit box. (The issue seems to reproduce with any multiline edit box, github issue is just an example)
2. Paste some long sentence that spans multiple lines, for example:

   In the best of times, it is the worst of times; in the worst of times, it is the best of times. It was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair. We had everything before us, we had nothing before us; we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way – in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

3. Open NVDA python console and type:

   >>> t=focus.makeTextInfo('caret')
   >>> t.expand('paragraph')
   >>> t.collapse(True)
   >>> t.expand('paragraph')
   >>> t.text
   'only.'
   

Actual behavior:

It selects only the last line - even though we requested to expand to paragraph.

Expected behavior:

textInfo.expand(paragraph) should expand to a paragraph, not line.

This is most likely a bug in Chromium. Has this been reported to chromium?
