I can reproduce this on windows 10 with 57.0a1 09-06 nightly build. I put several lines here in the bug comment, ctrl+A then backspace. Selection was lost on backspace, and the caret is in front of the first character of the text

Just want to add specifically this "bug" doesnt require you to actually do it really fast. The issue is that if you are holding CTRL down when you backspace it doesnt backspace, nothing to do with speed, though normally you would only see this when doing it fast.

Severity: normal → S3
