More cursor manager selection bugs #1.

[derekriemer]

1. paste this into the python console.
   api.copyToClip(u"d\n"*30)
2. Paste the result into instantbird (Do it to yourself, not someone else).
3. press enter.
4. Press control+end, and then shift up arrow about 5 times (Any number should work).
5. press shift+home and shift+end. Nothing happens.
   Expected: if shift+end is pressed, line n-k is unselected.
   Actual: nothing.

Simplified STR:

1. Open this URL in Firefox: data:text/html,ab
2. In browse mode, press control+home.
3. Press right arrow to move to "b".
4. Press shift+end.
   • Expected: "b selected"
   • Actual: Nothing.

In short, shift+end does not work if the caret is at the last character of the line.

Not a regression: also fails in 2016.3.

@jcsteh: Will this pr also fix selection on lines with only one character?
I belief the issue I reported in #7162 is related to this.

Steps to reproduce please? I don't quite understand what you're asking.

[leonardder]

Steps to reproduce please?

1. go to google.com
2. Type "a" in the edit field
3. In browse mode, do home and try to select "a", which is the only character on the line

This didn't work before, but it seems that #7159 fixes this as well, as I can't reproduce this in latest next.

Were you trying to select with shift+end? If so, yes, I expected #7159 would fix this. It's just a specific case of shift+end on the last character; when there's only one character, it's also the last character.

Does this ticket encompass editing and selection bugs specifically for a certain web browser, i.e. Firefox, Chrome, or Edge, or is broader in scope as in general text editing, cursoring and selection related issues fall under its ambit? I have been encountering various related problems in Google Chrome while working in edit fields which I would like to report.

This is related to browse mode only.

Yes, that is what I did. Glad this has been taken care of.
